It's difficult for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The top summits have already been conquered.

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

The alternative records, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a side that has accomplished all there is.

It needed up to Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the highest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their hitters to possess a record if never given the possibility.

In the end, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to deliver her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have come from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not fail again.

If this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it's been a challenging time because it seemed my form was missing at all," commented Healy.

"But once you take the field, your fighting spirit take over and you completely engage with the match."

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

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and from that point Healy was in motion.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment that way, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

By the time she was dismissed the team needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the assurance to accomplish that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, should it happen, we believe we can achieve it."

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

Over the past five days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this success succeeding success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she later said she regretted not playing through the pain.

But while she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have postponed plans to retire, this tournament is anticipated as her last as captain in ODI 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.
