Australia has made five changes from the side that struggled to break through the Philippines’ defence in a 1-0 win in Perth earlier this week.
That includes Mary Fowler starting for the first time in over a year while Steph Catley has been benched.
The Aussies are favoured to get the job done tonight and book a group-deciding match against South Korea on Sunday night in Sydney.
The South Koreans have won both of their matches at this tournament 3-0 meaning the Matildas could do with a boost to their goal difference, or else they’ll need to win on Sunday to win the group.
Australia XI: Chloe Lincoln (GK), Courtney Nevin, Clare Hunt, Ellie Carpenter, Alanna Kennedy, Charlie Rule, Emily van Egmond, Amy Sayer, Mary Fowler, Sam Kerr, Caitlin Foord
