It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

We're talking about the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and once went over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the peak baggers, are what's still available for a team that has won it all.

It needed up to Sunday's three-wicket win 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, frankly, a compliment to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It is hard for their batsmen to maintain a record if not provided the chance.

Ultimately, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to create her newest gem.

Then best known as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her bow and seven international trophies have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

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

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She made sure her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement remains open for discussion.

Many contend the argument supporting championship match pressure. Others can counter with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because I feel like my form was missing at all," said Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts kick in and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single came off the bowler's initial ball and from that point the batsman was underway.

"An opportunity to take the field and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

Once she was removed her side required another 66 at one run per ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the belief to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, if necessary, we believe we can do it."

These statements will be the last rival teams at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a belief they will win from any position has grown stronger - this victory succeeding win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one point.

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

During that phase they were eliminated from the previous year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she wished she had played through the pain.

But while she later admitted those fitness problems have delayed plans to retire, this World Cup is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as skipper.

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