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

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

This is the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained nearly four years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

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

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy getting a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her debut and seven global championships have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India briefly halted the successful run.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch carnage 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 been unable to reach 30.

"For those following me in the nets, it's been a challenging time because I feel like I've had no rhythm completely," stated Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your fighting spirit take over and you just lock into the competition."

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

She was tormented by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's spark.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and after that Healy was in motion.

"A chance to take the field and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was out the team needed 66 more at run per delivery - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, if necessary, we know we can achieve it."

These statements will be the final thing competing nations at this World Cup need to hear.

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

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with longtime competitors England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they were eliminated from the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

Yet even as she later admitted those physical issues have delayed consideration of ending her career, this championship is likely to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as captain.

Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
