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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

We're talking about the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the record chasers, are the only things left for a side that has accomplished all there is.

That it took as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their batsmen to possess a record if not provided the possibility.

In the end, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to produce her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her debut and seven global championships have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the title decider and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

If this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this innings was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it's been a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm whatsoever," stated Healy.

"But once you take the field, your competitive nature kick in and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from there Healy was on her way.

"The possibility to play and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun in that aspect, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was dismissed Australia required another 66 at run per delivery - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the confidence to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, if we do, we believe we can succeed."

Those words will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this tournament want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will win from any position has only strengthened - this victory succeeding success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

During that phase 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 guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she later said she wished she had played despite the injury.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have postponed plans to retire, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as leader.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her ultimate challenge.
