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

The top summits have long been mastered.

We're talking about the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

That it took until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the bowlers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It is hard for their batters to hold a record if not provided the chance.

In the end, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy getting an opportunity to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her debut and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Others can counter with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed my form was missing at all," stated Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your competitive nature take over and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and after that the batsman was in motion.

"The possibility to take the field and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself that way, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the global tournament - and her century in 84 as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

When she was out 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 am glad we have the assurance to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, if necessary, we are confident we can achieve it."

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

In recent days a sense they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this triumph succeeding success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

It was at that stage they left the prior 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 guided Australia for the initial instance at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she wished she had played through the pain.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have delayed thoughts of retirement, this tournament is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a world championship as captain.

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