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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are all that remain 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 above 300, taking back their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batsmen to possess a record if not afforded the possibility.

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

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her bow and seven global championships have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the winning streak.

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy commented earlier.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock topped that previous effort is debatable.

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she was the highest scorer, but this knock followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"For those following me in practice sessions, it has been a challenging time because it appeared my form was missing whatsoever," said Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit activate and you just lock into the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and from there Healy was on her way.

"The possibility to take the field and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that aspect, sort of got me going," stated Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was removed the team required another 66 at one run per ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the confidence to achieve that now," continued Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, should it happen, we believe we can succeed."

That comment will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this success following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at an important competition.

So great is her will, she later said she wished she had played despite the injury.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have delayed thoughts of retirement, this tournament is expected to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as captain.

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