It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The top summits have long been mastered.

We're talking about the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the record chasers, are all that remain for a team that has achieved everything.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their batters to maintain a record if not afforded the chance.

In the end, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to produce her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India temporarily stopped the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy stated recently.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the case for final game tension. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was far harder to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this knock followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

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

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your fighting spirit kick in and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

A single came off the opening delivery and from that point Healy was on her way.

"An opportunity to play and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, sort of got me going," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

Once she was out Australia required another 66 at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the belief to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, should it happen, we believe we can do it."

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

During the last week a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this victory following victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So great is her will, she later said she wished she had played through the pain.

Yet even as she later admitted those injuries have pushed back plans to retire, this championship is likely to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as leader.

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