It's a challenge for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a side that has accomplished all there is.

It needed as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

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

Ultimately, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to create her newest gem.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her debut and seven world titles have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not come up short.

Whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this knock followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a disappointing period because it seemed I've had no rhythm completely," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in replacing legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's spark.

A single came off the bowler's initial ball and after that the right-hander was underway.

"The possibility to take the field and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, sort of got me going," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

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

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

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

These statements will be the final thing rival teams at this championship need to hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this success following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at an important competition.

So great is her will, she later said she regretted not playing despite the injury.

However although she afterwards confessed those injuries have pushed back plans to retire, this tournament is likely to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as leader.

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