It's difficult for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

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

The alternative records, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a team that has won it all.

It needed as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the highest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowlers that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their batters to hold a record if not provided the possibility.

In the end, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy getting a chance to deliver her newest gem.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her debut and seven global championships have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

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

The question of whether this latest epic knock topped that previous effort can be debated.

Certain people claim the case for the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was far harder to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this innings was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in training, it has been a disappointing period because I feel like I lacked timing completely," said Healy.

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

Healy's competitive nature has always been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

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

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from there the right-hander was on her way.

"An opportunity 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 achieved fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

Once she was dismissed her side required another 66 at one run per ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the belief to do that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if we do, we are confident we can succeed."

These statements will be the last Australia's opponents at this tournament want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will win from any position has grown stronger - this triumph following victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

During that phase they left last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played despite the injury.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have pushed back plans to retire, this World Cup is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as leader.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
