It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the record chasers, are all that remain for a team that has accomplished all there is.

That it took as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the past 50 years.

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

In the end, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the final and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not fail again.

If this recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like I lacked timing at all," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your competitive instincts activate and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her great strength - and a priceless quality in replacing legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

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

"The possibility to play and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was removed her side needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm happy we have the confidence to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if we do, we know we can succeed."

Those words will be the last competing nations at this tournament should hear.

In recent days a belief they will win from any position has grown stronger - this success following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at an important competition.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have delayed plans to retire, this championship is likely to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as skipper.

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