It's a challenge for Australia to set fresh records.

The top summits have long been mastered.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, plus six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a squad that has achieved everything.

That it took until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the highest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batsmen to possess a record if not provided the possibility.

Ultimately, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to create her newest gem.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has seen it all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her bow and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

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

If this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind championship match pressure. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this hundred was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"For those following me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because it appeared I've had no rhythm completely," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from that point Healy was on her way.

"A chance to go out there and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

When she was dismissed the team needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the belief to achieve that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, if we do, we are confident we can succeed."

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

In recent days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this victory following success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they were eliminated from the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the first time at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played through the pain.

Yet even as she later admitted those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is anticipated as her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a global event as captain.

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