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, plus another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the record chasers, are all that remain for a team that has achieved everything.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batters to possess a record if not afforded the chance.

Finally, the result of Australia giving up 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her bow and seven world titles have followed from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the successful run.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not fail again.

If this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was much more difficult to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this performance followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm completely," said Healy.

"However when you take the field, your fighting spirit activate and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her great strength - and a priceless quality in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and from there Healy was in motion.

"An opportunity to take the field and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment that way, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

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

Once she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - a manageable total now requiring a leisurely stroll.

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

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

That comment will be the last competing nations at this tournament want to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will win from any position has grown stronger - this triumph succeeding success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

It was at that stage they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she wished she had played with the discomfort.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have postponed thoughts of retirement, this tournament is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as leader.

Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her final mountain.
