It's a challenge for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have long been mastered.

We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the record chasers, are all that remain for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowlers that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batters to hold a record if not provided the chance.

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

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia 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.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fail again.

If this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort can be debated.

Certain people claim the argument supporting final game tension. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"For those following me in the nets, it has been a frustrating experience because it appeared I lacked timing whatsoever," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature take over and you simply focus on the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's spark.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and from that point Healy was in motion.

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

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

When she was out Australia needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

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

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we believe we can achieve it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this tournament should hear.

In recent days a sense they will win from any position has only strengthened - this triumph succeeding success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting 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 last-four spot may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they exited last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she later said she regretted not playing through the pain.

Yet even as she afterwards confessed those injuries have pushed back thoughts of retirement, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as leader.

Triumph in India would bring her to the top of her last major obstacle.
