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

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the record chasers, are what's still available for a squad that has won it all.

That it took up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over five decades.

It's challenging for their batters to hold a record if not afforded the possibility.

In the end, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to produce her most recent brilliance.

Initially recognized as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

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

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.

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

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fall short again.

Whether this latest epic knock topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Many contend the argument supporting championship match pressure. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this knock followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've observed me in training, it was a challenging time because I feel like my form was missing at all," commented Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts activate and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has consistently been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in replacing legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from there the right-hander was in motion.

"A chance to take the field and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

When she was dismissed Australia needed 66 more at one run per ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the belief to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if necessary, we believe we can do it."

Those words will be the last rival teams at this championship want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this success succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - an encounter Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she later said she regretted not playing despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those physical issues have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as leader.

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