It's a challenge for the Australian squad to set fresh records.

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

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

The secondary achievements, targeted by the record chasers, are what's still available for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if never given the opportunity.

Finally, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to create her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

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

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it has been a disappointing period because it seemed my form was missing completely," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you take the field, your fighting spirit take over and you just lock into the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her great strength - and a priceless quality in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.

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

"A chance to take the field and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her century in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

When she was dismissed Australia required another 66 at one run per ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

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

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it another time but, should it happen, we are confident we can achieve it."

Those words will be the last Australia's opponents at this World Cup want to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will win from any position has grown stronger - this triumph coming after victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to ruptured 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 regretted not playing despite the injury.

However although she later admitted those fitness problems have postponed consideration of ending her career, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as skipper.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her final mountain.
