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

The top summits have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the peak baggers, 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 achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the largest 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 is hard for their batsmen to hold a record if never given the opportunity.

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy getting a chance to create her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.

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

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

Whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage 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 not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because it seemed I've had no rhythm at all," commented Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit kick in and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the batsman was in motion.

"A chance to go out there and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

When she was removed Australia needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

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

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

That comment will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this championship want to hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this success succeeding success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the first time at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wished she had played despite the injury.

However although she later admitted those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this tournament is likely to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as captain.

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