It's a challenge for Australia to break new ground.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a side that has won it all.

It needed as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over five decades.

It's difficult for their batsmen to maintain a record if not afforded the possibility.

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her first appearance and seven world titles have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy stated recently.

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

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the case for final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was much more difficult to anticipate.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this performance came after six matches 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 it seemed my form was missing completely," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your fighting spirit kick in and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and after that Healy was underway.

"The possibility to go out there and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, sort of got me going," said Healy.

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

When she was out her side required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the confidence to achieve that now," added Healy.

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

That comment will be the last Australia's opponents at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this victory coming after victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

During that phase they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

Yet even as she afterwards confessed those injuries have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as captain.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
