It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a squad that has won it all.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It is hard for their hitters to maintain a record if not provided the opportunity.

In the end, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a chance to create her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup arrived three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not come up short.

If this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this knock came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in training, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like my form was missing completely," stated Healy.

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

Healy's competitive nature has continuously been her key asset - and a priceless quality in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

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

"A chance to take the field and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun that way, sort of got me going," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

By the time she was out Australia needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the belief to achieve that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, if we do, we believe we can achieve it."

These statements will be the last Australia's opponents at this tournament want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this triumph coming after success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at an important competition.

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

But while she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as captain.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her final mountain.
