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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, targeted by the record chasers, are what's still available for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowlers that have represented Australia over the last half-century.

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

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to produce her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup arrived three months after her debut and seven global championships have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted 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 made 170 against England in the title decider and was named player of the tournament. She ensured her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was much more difficult to predict.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this knock 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 was a frustrating experience because it seemed my form was missing at all," 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 fighting spirit has always been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the right-hander was on her way.

"An opportunity to go out there and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

By the time she was out her side needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I am glad we have the belief to do that now," stated Healy further.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, if necessary, we know we can do it."

That comment will be the final thing rival teams at this championship should hear.

During the last week a belief they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this victory following success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of 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 wished she had played despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as captain.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
