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

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the record chasers, are all that remain for a side that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their hitters to maintain a record if not afforded the possibility.

In the end, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to create her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her bow and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

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

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the championship match and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fail again.

If this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Some will argue the case for championship match pressure. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was considerably tougher to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this knock came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it's been a challenging time because it appeared my form was missing completely," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature kick in and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

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

"A chance to take the field and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was removed Australia needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

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

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it another time but, should it happen, we are confident we can achieve it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this tournament want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this triumph succeeding success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a significant event.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wished she had played through the pain.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win a global event as leader.

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