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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

This is the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a team that has won it all.

The fact it required up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have represented Australia over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their hitters to maintain a record if never given the possibility.

Finally, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a chance to produce her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has seen it all through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her debut and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy stated recently.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not fail again.

Whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Certain people claim the argument supporting championship match pressure. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was far harder to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this performance came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"For those following me in training, it's been a frustrating experience because it appeared my form was missing whatsoever," said Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit kick in and you completely engage with the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and after that the right-hander was in motion.

"The possibility to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

When she was out her side needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the confidence to do that now," continued Healy.

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

These statements will be the last Australia's opponents at this World Cup should hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will win from any position has grown stronger - this triumph coming after victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated through the pain.

But while she later admitted those physical issues have postponed consideration of ending her career, this tournament is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as skipper.

Victory in India would take her to the summit of her last major obstacle.
