It's a challenge for the Australian squad to achieve unprecedented feats.

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a side that has accomplished all there is.

It needed until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It is hard for their batters to maintain a record if not afforded the opportunity.

Finally, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy getting a chance to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her debut and seven world titles have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," Healy stated recently.

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 ensured her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Certain people claim the argument supporting final game tension. Some might respond with the test that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've observed me in training, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed I lacked timing completely," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your competitive nature activate and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from there the batsman was in motion.

"A chance to go out there and lock in a contest with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

When she was removed Australia required another 66 at one run per ball - a manageable total now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the belief to do that now," added Healy.

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

Those words will be the final thing rival teams at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this success coming after victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they exited the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as skipper.

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