It's a challenge for the Australian squad to break new ground.

The highest peaks have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the peak baggers, are what's still available for a side 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, taking back their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

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

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy getting a platform to deliver her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her bow and seven world titles have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India temporarily stopped the winning streak.

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

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

The question of whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this ton was much more difficult to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like I've had no rhythm completely," stated Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts activate and you simply focus on the match."

Healy's competitive nature has consistently been her great strength - and a priceless quality in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled 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 motivation.

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

"The possibility to take the field and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

Once she was removed Australia required another 66 at run per delivery - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm pleased we have the assurance to accomplish that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it another time but, if we do, we are confident we can succeed."

That comment will be the last Australia's opponents at this World Cup want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this victory coming after success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was at that stage they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So great is her will, she later said she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have delayed consideration of ending her career, this championship is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as skipper.

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