Captain Heather Knight is relishing England's shot at "history" and "writing a remarkable story" as they prepare to face Australia in the Women's World Cup final.
Knight's charges will become the first England team to successfully defend the Women's World Cup title if they back up their 2017 triumph at Hagley Oval on Sunday.
England lost their first three matches in this year's tournament and were in danger of an early elimination but have since won five games in a row, reaching the final with a thumping 137-run victory over South Africa in Thursday's semi-final.
Knight said at her pre-final press conference: "I think winning will mean more after the start we had and being able to turn it around would be remarkable. It would make it even more special if we can win
We have an opportunity to make history being the first England team to [win back-to-back titles] and that's such an exciting thing.
The stage is set for us to write a remarkable story but it is a fresh slate and us and Australia will go in as equals. It's who performs on the day and deals with the pressure.
