It's a challenge for the Australian squad to break new ground.

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a team that has accomplished all there is.

That it took until Sunday's success 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, frankly, a tribute to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if not afforded the opportunity.

In the end, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy getting a platform to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her bow and seven world titles have come from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "drove us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the title decider and was named player of the tournament. She made sure her country would not fail again.

Whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Some will argue the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this hundred was much more difficult to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when 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.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it's been a frustrating experience because it appeared I lacked timing at all," said Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your competitive nature take over and you just lock into the match."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her great strength - and a priceless quality in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, dismissed by the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and after that the right-hander was in motion.

"An opportunity to take the field and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at the global tournament - and her century in 84 as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was out Australia required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

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

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, if necessary, we know we can achieve it."

These statements will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup should hear.

During the last week a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this victory coming after win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

It was at that stage they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the first time at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she later said she wished she had played despite the injury.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as leader.

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