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

The greatest achievements have long been mastered.

We're talking about the unit that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the record chasers, are all that remain for a squad 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 over 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

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

In the end, the result of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy getting a platform to produce her newest gem.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the argument supporting final game tension. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this innings followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it was a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing at all," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and from that point Healy was in motion.

"The possibility to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, sort of got me going," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

When she was removed her side 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 am glad we have the confidence to achieve that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if we do, we are confident we can achieve it."

That comment will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this championship need to hear.

During the last week a sense they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this success coming after success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

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.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she later said she regretted not playing through the pain.

However although she later admitted those fitness problems have postponed thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as skipper.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her ultimate challenge.
