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

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the peak baggers, are all that remain for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their hitters to maintain a record if never given the opportunity.

Ultimately, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy getting an opportunity to create her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her bow and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

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

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She made sure her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was far harder to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock 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 practice sessions, it has been a frustrating experience because I feel like my form was missing whatsoever," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you just lock into the contest."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her major advantage - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

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

A single was taken off the opening delivery and after that the right-hander was on her way.

"An opportunity to take the field and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

Once she was dismissed Australia needed 66 more at run per delivery - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the belief to do that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, if necessary, we are confident we can achieve it."

That comment will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this tournament want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this triumph coming after success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

It was in the semi-finals they left the previous 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 led her country for the initial instance at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wished she had played through the pain.

Yet even as she later admitted those injuries have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this tournament is expected to be her concluding event as leader in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as captain.

Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her final mountain.
