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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

We're talking about the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

It needed until Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the bowlers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It's difficult for their batsmen to possess a record if never given the opportunity.

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

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her debut and seven world titles have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India briefly halted the successful run.

That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.

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

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

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this performance was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

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

"However when you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit take over and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has consistently been her major advantage - and an irreplaceable characteristic 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 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from there the right-hander was on her way.

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

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was dismissed Australia needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it another time but, should it happen, we are confident we can achieve it."

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

In recent days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one point.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a world championship as captain.

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