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 secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, targeted by the peak baggers, are the only things left for a side that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their hitters to maintain a record if not provided the opportunity.

Ultimately, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to deliver her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her bow and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

Whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Many contend the case for the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was much more difficult to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in training, it's been a challenging time because I feel like my form was missing whatsoever," commented Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit kick in and you just lock into the match."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her great strength - and a priceless quality in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the emerging pace bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the batsman was on her way.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun that way, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

When she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the assurance to achieve that now," continued Healy.

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

Those words will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this World Cup should hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this success coming after success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may likely be confirmed.

It was in the semi-finals they exited the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

However although she later admitted those injuries have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as skipper.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her last major obstacle.
