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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the record chasers, are all that remain for a team that has achieved everything.

That it took up to Sunday's success 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 worn canary yellow over five decades.

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

In the end, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy getting a chance to produce her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her debut and seven international trophies have followed from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India momentarily interrupted the winning streak.

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She guaranteed her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it has been a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," said Healy.

"Yet the moment you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the right-hander was in motion.

"An opportunity to go out there and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

Once she was out Australia required another 66 at one run per ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I am glad we have the assurance to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we know we can achieve it."

Those words will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this championship want to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will win from any position has only strengthened - this victory following success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final place may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those physical issues have postponed thoughts of retirement, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as leader.

Success in India would lead her to the peak of her last major obstacle.
