She said: “You can’t really ignore that it’s the old enemy, can you? It’s probably the two best teams in the world historically over the last few years, and we’ve had some amazing games of cricket recently.
“We had the Ashes series we drew out in Australia and a really good T20 series out there for us, where we won 2-1, and the game to finish off the series was a real thriller.
“It’s a real achievement [making the final], especially considering the inexperience we’ve brought to this tournament, and the girls are massively excited.”
The final starts at midnight UK time on Saturday night/Sunday morning, as Australia chase their fourth World T20 title.
