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

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, plus six more T20 titles, and once went nearly four years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by 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 success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their batters to possess a record if not provided the opportunity.

Ultimately, the result of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her bow and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She made sure her country would not come up short.

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

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was considerably tougher to predict.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it's been a frustrating experience because I feel like I lacked timing completely," said Healy.

"However when you take the field, your fighting spirit take over and you just lock into the competition."

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

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

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

"An opportunity to go out there and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she flogged anything short, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

When she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm happy we have the assurance to achieve that now," added Healy.

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

Those words will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this tournament need to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this triumph succeeding success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at an important competition.

So great is her will, she later said she regretted not playing through the pain.

But while she later admitted those injuries have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this tournament is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as leader.

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