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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the record chasers, are all that remain for a side that has achieved everything.

That it took until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their batsmen to maintain a record if not provided the chance.

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

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.

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

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

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," 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.

Whether this newest brilliant performance exceeded that prior achievement remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the argument supporting final game tension. Others can counter with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it has been a challenging time because I feel like my form was missing at all," stated Healy.

"But once you take the field, your fighting spirit activate and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in all three matches, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and from that point the right-hander was underway.

"A chance to play and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

Once she was dismissed the team needed 66 more at run per delivery - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm happy we have the confidence to do that now," stated Healy further.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we know we can succeed."

Those words will be the last rival teams at this World Cup should hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this victory following success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

But while she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed plans to retire, this championship is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as leader.

Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
