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

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

It needed as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

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

Finally, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her bow and seven global championships have come from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," 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 made sure her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock topped that previous effort is debatable.

Some will argue the case for final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this century was considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction 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 failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in training, it was a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm at all," commented Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive nature take over and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was in motion.

"An opportunity to take the field and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was dismissed Australia required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I am glad we have the confidence to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, should it happen, we believe we can achieve it."

That comment will be the last competing nations at this tournament want to hear.

Over the past five days a belief they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this success coming after success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from the previous 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 led her country for the first time at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

However although she later admitted those injuries have delayed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as captain.

Victory in India would take her to the summit of her final mountain.
