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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

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

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the peak baggers, are the only things left for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their batsmen to hold a record if not provided the possibility.

Ultimately, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to create her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her debut 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 momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy commented earlier.

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

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort is debatable.

Some will argue the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was much more difficult to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this knock came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it has been a disappointing period because I feel like my form was missing at all," commented Healy.

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

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single came off the bowler's initial ball and from that point the batsman was on her way.

"An opportunity to take the field and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

Once she was removed the team needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I'm happy we have the assurance to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it another time but, if we do, we are confident we can succeed."

That comment will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this tournament want to hear.

In recent days a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was in the semi-finals they exited last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this tournament is expected to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as leader.

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