It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

This is the team that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the record chasers, are the only things left for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

It's challenging for their batters to maintain a record if not provided the possibility.

Finally, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy getting a platform to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

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

That loss "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy stated recently.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

If this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.

Some will argue the argument supporting championship match pressure. Others can counter with the test that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this knock was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it was a frustrating experience because it appeared I've had no rhythm completely," said Healy.

"But once you take the field, your fighting spirit activate and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and from there the right-hander was underway.

"The possibility to play and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

When she was out her side needed 66 more at one run per ball - a manageable total now requiring a leisurely stroll.

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

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if necessary, we believe we can achieve it."

These statements will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup want to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this triumph succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at an important competition.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing through the pain.

However although she later admitted those fitness problems have delayed plans to retire, this World Cup is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a global event as captain.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her last major obstacle.
