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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

This is the team that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

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

That it took up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the bowlers that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their hitters to hold a record if not provided the chance.

In the end, the result of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to produce her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her bow and seven world titles have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted 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 final and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Some will argue the argument supporting final game tension. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it has been a challenging time because it seemed I've had no rhythm completely," said Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your competitive instincts take over and you completely engage with the contest."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in succeeding famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and after that the batsman was on her way.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

Once she was out the team needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm happy we have the confidence to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

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

Those words will be the last rival teams at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this success coming after success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

During that phase they exited last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played with the discomfort.

However although she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have delayed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as captain.

Success in India would take her to the summit of her last major obstacle.
