Australia are just three matches away from scripting a world record.
Wins in their next three World Cup Group 'A' matches against Zimbabwe, Namibia and England will help Australia surpass the record of 11 straight one-day wins achieved by the West Indies team in the mid 1980s.
Australia, who have so far notched nine consecutive victories, started their winning streak beating England at Hobart on January 11.
Taking into account their current form, the world champions are all set to eclipse the previous record as they prepare to take on Zimbabwe at Bulawayo on February 24.
Opening batsman Matthew Hayden said he was confident of his side scripting a new record during the World Cup.
"I don't think it's out of our league, that's for sure. We are playing really good cricket and I guess now it's just playing the big matches - Zimbabwe is a big match on their home territory," the left-handed batsman was quoted as saying by a website.
"I don't think it's out of our possibilities, we are playing well - we're a great side when we're playing with that momentum behind us," said Hayden, who was expected to play a major role in Australia's bid to defend their title in South Africa successfully.
The world champions have come within sniffing distance of the Windies' record twice before, falling at the 11th hurdle in May 1990 and February 2001.

The awesome West Indies side, boasting the likes of Vivian Richards, Desmond Haynes, Gordon Greenidge, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding, won 11 matches in a row between June 1984 and February 1985.
Though Hayden said Australia could make the record, he was unsure about an unbeaten World Cup for his side.
"We've won two of the biggest matches, against India and Pakistan, straight away and we kind of saw that as the key to our campaign and we're just gathering a lot of strength from that," said Hayden.
After the match against Zimbabwe, Australia will meet Namibia at Potchefstroom on Thursday and England at Port Elizabeth on March 2.
