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

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the peak baggers, are all that remain for a team that has achieved everything.

That it took until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the highest in the women's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

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

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

Then best known as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

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

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the successful run.

That loss "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy stated recently.

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

Whether this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this hundred was much more difficult to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"For those following me in the nets, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed my form was missing completely," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your fighting spirit activate and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her major advantage - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

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

"The possibility to play and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was removed Australia needed 66 more at one run per ball - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the confidence to do that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to do it another time but, should it happen, we know we can succeed."

Those words will be the last competing nations at this World Cup should hear.

During the last week a feeling they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this victory succeeding win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

It was at that stage they left last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she later said she regretted not playing through the pain.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have postponed thoughts of retirement, this tournament is anticipated as her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as skipper.

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