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

The greatest achievements have long been mastered.

We're talking about the team that has claimed 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, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over the last half-century.

It is hard for their batsmen to maintain a record if never given the chance.

In the end, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to create her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory happened 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 run of success.

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

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 come up short.

If this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the case for championship match pressure. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was much more difficult to predict.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 happened while 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.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it was a challenging time because it seemed my form was missing completely," commented Healy.

"However when you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you just lock into the match."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in all three matches, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and from there Healy was underway.

"The possibility to play and lock in a contest with her and simply enjoy myself in that aspect, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was out the team required another 66 at run per delivery - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the confidence to achieve 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 final thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup need to hear.

In recent days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this triumph succeeding win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she later said she regretted not playing despite the injury.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this championship is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as leader.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her ultimate challenge.
