It's tough for the Australian squad to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have long been mastered.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a side that has won it all.

That it took as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It is hard for their batsmen to possess a record if not afforded the opportunity.

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

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

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

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "pushed us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fall short again.

If this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Some will argue the case for championship match pressure. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in the nets, it's been a disappointing period because it appeared I lacked timing completely," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature kick in and you completely engage with the contest."

Healy's competitive nature has continuously been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and from that point Healy was underway.

"An opportunity to play and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 deliveries - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was out Australia needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the assurance to achieve that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if necessary, we are confident we can do it."

These statements will be the final thing rival teams at this World Cup should hear.

During the last week a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this victory coming after success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

Yet even as she later admitted those injuries have pushed back plans to retire, this championship is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as skipper.

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