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

The highest peaks have long been mastered.

This is the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained nearly four years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a side that has won it all.

It needed until Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a testament to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

It's difficult for their batters to possess a record if not afforded the opportunity.

Finally, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her first appearance and seven world titles have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the successful run.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She made sure her country would not come up short.

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

Some will argue the argument supporting final game tension. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"For those following me in training, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like I lacked timing at all," commented Healy.

"But once you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and from there Healy was on her way.

"The possibility to go out there and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the global tournament - and her century in 84 as she flogged anything short, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

Once she was out Australia required another 66 at one run per ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the confidence to do that now," continued Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to do it again but, should it happen, we are confident we can do it."

Those words will be the final thing competing nations at this championship should hear.

In recent days a belief they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this triumph succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at an important competition.

So strong is her resolve, she later said she regretted not playing despite the injury.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have delayed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as leader.

Victory in India would take her to the summit of her last major obstacle.
