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

The highest peaks have already been conquered.

We're talking about the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a side that has won it all.

The fact it required up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a testament to the pitchers that have represented Australia over the last half-century.

It is hard for their hitters to hold a record if never given the chance.

Finally, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy getting a chance to produce her most recent brilliance.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy stated recently.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

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

What's definite is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she was the highest scorer, but this performance came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it was a challenging time because it appeared I lacked timing completely," stated Healy.

"However when you take the field, your fighting spirit take over and you simply focus on the match."

Healy's competitive nature has continuously been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in all three matches, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and after that the batsman was underway.

"The possibility to play and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

By the time she was dismissed the team needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - a manageable total now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the confidence to do that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to do it another time but, if we do, we know we can do it."

That comment will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup should hear.

During the last week a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this victory succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was at that stage they exited last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wished she had played with the discomfort.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have delayed plans to retire, this tournament is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as skipper.

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