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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and once went over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the record chasers, are all that remain for a side that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over five decades.

It's difficult for their hitters to maintain a record if not afforded the chance.

Finally, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to produce her most recent brilliance.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her bow and seven global championships have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the winning streak.

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

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

If this latest epic knock topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Many contend the argument supporting championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in training, it's been a disappointing period because it appeared I've had no rhythm whatsoever," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit take over and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her great strength - and a priceless quality in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the right-hander was underway.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun that way, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

Once she was dismissed the team needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to do it another time but, if necessary, we are confident we can do it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this championship should hear.

In recent days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this success succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten 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 - an encounter Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

However although she later admitted those fitness problems have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this championship is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as leader.

Success in India would bring her to the top of her ultimate challenge.
