It's a challenge for the Australian squad to set fresh records.

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the record chasers, are what's still available for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed up to Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a testament to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their batsmen to hold a record if not afforded the chance.

Finally, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy getting a platform to produce her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her debut and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India temporarily stopped the winning streak.

That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

Whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Some will argue the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm completely," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit kick in and you just lock into the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in replacing legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was underway.

"A chance to play and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun that way, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

By the time she was removed her side needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the confidence to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we are confident we can do it."

That comment will be the last rival teams at this tournament need to hear.

Over the past five days a belief they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this triumph succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she later said she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have postponed thoughts of retirement, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as captain.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her final mountain.
