It's a challenge for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The greatest achievements have long been mastered.

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

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a squad that has achieved everything.

It needed up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the highest in the women's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over the last half-century.

It is hard for their batters to possess a record if not provided the opportunity.

Ultimately, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure 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 arrived three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the successful run.

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

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Some will argue the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was far harder to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a disappointing period because it seemed I lacked timing completely," commented Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your competitive nature kick in and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in succeeding famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and after that Healy was on her way.

"A chance to play and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment that way, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was removed her side needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - a manageable total now needing a comfortable finish.

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

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, if necessary, we are confident we can achieve it."

Those words will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this championship need to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this success following success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she later said she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

However although she later admitted those physical issues have pushed back plans to retire, this championship is likely to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as skipper.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
