It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a team that has achieved everything.

That it took as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the pitchers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if never given the opportunity.

Finally, the result of Australia giving up 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy stated recently.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She made sure her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Some will argue the case for final game tension. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was considerably tougher to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this performance was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in training, it's been a challenging time because I feel like my form was missing at all," commented Healy.

"But once you take the field, your fighting spirit kick in and you just lock into the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in succeeding 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 all three matches, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.

A single came off the opening delivery and from that point the batsman was in motion.

"A chance to play and lock in a contest with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

By the time she was removed her side needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the belief to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to do it again but, should it happen, we are confident we can do it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this championship want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this success following win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may likely be confirmed.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she later said she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

However although she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have delayed consideration of ending her career, this tournament is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as captain.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her ultimate challenge.
