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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the record chasers, are what's still available for a side that has won it all.

That it took as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowlers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It's difficult for their batters to hold a record if not provided the opportunity.

Finally, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to create her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country failed to win 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 arrived three months after her debut and seven global championships have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

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

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

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not come up short.

Whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Some will argue the argument supporting championship match pressure. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was much more difficult to predict.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 happened while 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 been watching me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," said Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your competitive nature activate and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and from there the batsman was in motion.

"The possibility to take the field and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment that way, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

When she was removed her side required another 66 at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we believe we can do it."

Those words will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this championship need to hear.

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

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 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 a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at a significant event.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wished she had played with the discomfort.

But while she later admitted those fitness problems have postponed plans to retire, this championship is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as captain.

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