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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

We're talking about the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a team that has won it all.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batters to maintain a record if never given the chance.

Finally, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

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

Whether this latest epic knock topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the argument supporting championship match pressure. Others can counter with the test that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was much more difficult to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it has been a disappointing period because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," stated Healy.

"However when you take the field, your competitive instincts activate and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitive nature has continuously been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

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

One run resulted off the opening delivery and after that the right-hander was on her way.

"An opportunity to play and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

When she was removed the team required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the belief to accomplish that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if necessary, we know we can do it."

That comment will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this World Cup should hear.

In recent days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this victory succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in ten 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 a shock defeat by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

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

However although she afterwards confessed those injuries have pushed back plans to retire, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as captain.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her ultimate challenge.
