It's tough for Australia to achieve unprecedented feats.

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

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

The alternative records, the ones sought by the peak baggers, are the only things left for a squad that has achieved everything.

It needed as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over five decades.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if not provided the possibility.

Finally, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy being given a chance to deliver her newest gem.

Then best known as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

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

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy commented earlier.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the argument supporting final game tension. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this knock was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"For those following me in the nets, it was a disappointing period because it appeared I've had no rhythm at all," commented Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit kick in and you just lock into the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has consistently been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and from there the batsman was in motion.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

By the time she was dismissed Australia needed 66 more at run per delivery - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the assurance to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, should it happen, we are confident we can achieve it."

Those words will be the final thing competing nations at this championship want to hear.

In recent days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

It was at that stage they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at a significant event.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

However although she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as leader.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her last major obstacle.
