It's difficult for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have already been conquered.

We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the record chasers, are the only things left for a team that has accomplished all there is.

It needed until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the pitchers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It's difficult for their hitters to hold a record if never given the chance.

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

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her debut and seven global championships have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped 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 declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fall short again.

Whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Many contend the case for the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this performance followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it was a disappointing period because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," stated Healy.

"However when you take the field, your competitive instincts kick in and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her key asset - and a priceless quality in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

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

"The possibility to go out there and lock in a contest with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

By the time she was dismissed her side needed 66 more at run per delivery - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the assurance to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if necessary, we believe we can achieve it."

Those words will be the last Australia's opponents at this championship should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this victory following victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

During that phase they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So great is her will, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing despite the injury.

But while she later admitted those fitness problems have delayed consideration of ending her career, this championship is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as captain.

Victory in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
