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

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

This is the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the bowlers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It is hard for their batters to maintain a record if not afforded the opportunity.

Ultimately, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy getting a platform to produce her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her debut and seven international trophies have come from 10 efforts across formats.

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

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

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She made sure her country would not fail again.

If this newest brilliant performance exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Some might respond with the test that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this innings was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in practice sessions, it's been a frustrating experience because it appeared I've had no rhythm completely," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive instincts kick in and you just lock into the match."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and after that the batsman was underway.

"A chance to play and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that aspect, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

When she was removed her side needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, should it happen, we believe we can achieve it."

That comment will be the last Australia's opponents at this championship should hear.

During the last week a sense they will win from any position has become more firm - this success succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they exited last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have delayed consideration of ending her career, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as leader.

Success in India would lead her to the peak of her last major obstacle.
