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

The top summits have long been mastered.

We're talking about the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the record chasers, are what's still available for a squad that has achieved everything.

That it took as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It is hard for their batsmen to hold a record if not provided the opportunity.

Finally, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to produce her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have followed from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the winning streak.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She made sure her country would not come up short.

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

Some will argue the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's clear is this ton was considerably tougher to predict.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this knock followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed I've had no rhythm at all," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature take over and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and after that the batsman was in motion.

"A chance to go out there and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun that way, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 deliveries - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

Once she was removed the team required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the confidence to accomplish that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, should it happen, we believe we can do it."

These statements will be the last Australia's opponents at this World Cup need to hear.

During the last week a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this success following victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.

It was in the semi-finals they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played through the pain.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have pushed back plans to retire, this championship is expected to be her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as leader.

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