It's tough for Australia to break new ground.

The top summits have already been conquered.

This is the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, targeted by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a squad that has achieved everything.

It needed as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if not provided the possibility.

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy getting a chance to create her newest gem.

Originally famous as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her debut and seven global championships have come from 10 efforts across formats.

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

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was named player of the tournament. She made sure her country would not come up short.

If this latest epic knock topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this knock came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it's been a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," said Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature activate and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and after that the batsman was on her way.

"A chance to go out there and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her century in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

Once she was removed the team needed 66 more at one run per ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm happy we have the belief to do that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if we do, we know we can do it."

Those words will be the last rival teams at this championship should hear.

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

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they exited last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have delayed thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as leader.

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