It's difficult for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

This is the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

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

It needed up to Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their hitters to possess a record if not provided the chance.

Finally, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy being given a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her bow and seven international trophies have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the final and was named player of the tournament. She ensured her country would not fail again.

If this recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was far harder to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this performance followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it has been a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing at all," said Healy.

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

Healy's fighting spirit has consistently been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's spark.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and after that the batsman was underway.

"The possibility to go out there and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 deliveries - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

When she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the belief to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, if we do, we know we can succeed."

That comment will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this World Cup want to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will win from any position has grown stronger - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

It was at that stage they exited last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

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

But while she later admitted those fitness problems have postponed consideration of ending her career, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as leader.

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