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

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and once went over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a team that has accomplished all there is.

That it took until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, reclaiming their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over five decades.

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

Ultimately, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy getting an opportunity to create her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her debut and seven international trophies have come from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "pushed 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 awarded tournament MVP. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

Whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the case for championship match pressure. Some might respond with the test that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was much more difficult to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this knock followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed my form was missing at all," said Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your competitive nature kick in and you completely engage with the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single came off the bowler's initial ball and from there Healy was on her way.

"An opportunity to take the field and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was removed the team required another 66 at run per delivery - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I am glad we have the belief to accomplish that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we are confident we can do it."

That comment will be the last Australia's opponents at this championship want to hear.

In recent days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this triumph succeeding success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they were eliminated from the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at an important competition.

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

But while she later admitted those physical issues have pushed back thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as skipper.

Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her last major obstacle.
