    Australia captain Alyssa Healy: "A bit of a gut feel but obviously a fresh wicket. We want to get the best conditions with the ball and hopefully it slides off the bat later. We'll see how it unfolds.

    "We'd love a bit of pace and bounce but I'm not sure we're going to get that. We've watched the other games and it looks like a good wicket.

    "One change, Tayla Vlaeminck comes in for grace Grace Harris. It's purely impact for impact. We put Grace in last time for impact with the bat, now we want impact with the ball."

    Can anyone stop Australia?

    The six-time champions have made an ominous start to this tournament, with two dominant victories from two. Another win here and a semi-final spot will be all but secured.

    Pakistan, with one win and one defeat so far, still have a chance of making the last four themselves. Can they pull off a shock victory to shake up Group A?
