Australia coach Tony Gustavsson believes his squad is in a race against time to finalise preparations for next year's Women's World Cup but that home-field advantage can help push the team towards success.
"Out of those 46 days, 14 days go to travel and recovery. That leaves us with 32 days. Out of those 32 days before the World Cup roster is announced, it's going to be 11 games and 11 pre-game sessions. Gustavsson takes his team into the games against the Canadians with a host of key players missing as Ellie Carpenter, Hayley Raso, Steph Catley, Tameka Yallop, Chloe Logarzo, Caitlin Foord, and Kyah Simon are all sidelined.
"When you believe, it means you can achieve something that is more than expected of a team," he said.
