It's tough 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, plus another six T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the record chasers, are what's still available for a squad that has achieved everything.

That it took up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the pitchers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It is hard for their batters to hold a record if not provided the possibility.

In the end, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to produce her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her debut and seven international trophies have come from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

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

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

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the case for championship match pressure. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was far harder to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it's been a frustrating experience because it seemed I lacked timing completely," said Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit activate and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her key asset - and a priceless quality in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single came off the opening delivery and from there the batsman was on her way.

"A chance to play and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment that way, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

When she was out Australia needed 66 more at one run per ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we believe we can succeed."

That comment will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this championship want to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this success following victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at one point.

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

It was at that stage they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she later said she wanted to have participated through the pain.

However although she later admitted those physical issues have pushed back thoughts of retirement, this tournament is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as captain.

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