It's difficult for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went nearly four years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a squad that has won it all.

It needed until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batters to hold a record if never given the opportunity.

Ultimately, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her debut and seven international trophies have come from 10 efforts across formats.

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

That loss "pushed us to rethink our standards," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not come up short.

If this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Some will argue the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this performance was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in training, it has been a disappointing period because it seemed I lacked timing at all," commented Healy.

"But once you take the field, your fighting spirit take over and you simply focus on the contest."

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

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from there the batsman was on her way.

"A chance to go out there and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself that way, sort of got me going," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

By the time she was out the team needed 66 more at one run per ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the belief to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, if necessary, we are confident we can achieve it."

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

During the last week a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this success succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

During that phase they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

However although she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed consideration of ending her career, this tournament is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as skipper.

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