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

The top summits have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the peak baggers, are what's still available for a side that has accomplished all there is.

It needed up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their batsmen to hold a record if not provided the opportunity.

In the end, the result of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to produce her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

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

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not come up short.

If this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort can be debated.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in training, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," said Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts kick in and you just lock into the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in all three matches, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and from there Healy was on her way.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that aspect, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

Once she was out the team required another 66 at one run per ball - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

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

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

That comment will be the final thing competing nations at this championship should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this triumph following success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before an encounter with longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

During that phase they left last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at an important competition.

So great is her will, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

Yet even as she later admitted those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this championship is likely to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as leader.

Victory in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
