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

The highest peaks have already been conquered.

We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the peak baggers, are all that remain for a team that has won it all.

It needed up to Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the pitchers that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their hitters to hold a record if never given the opportunity.

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this hundred was far harder to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it has been a disappointing period because it appeared I've had no rhythm completely," said Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature kick in and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was underway.

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

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was removed her side required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I am glad we have the belief to achieve that now," continued Healy.

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

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

In recent days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have pushed back thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as skipper.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her last major obstacle.
