Ellyse Perry, the queen of Australian cricket, is set to grace another World Cup final as Australia's women cricketers attempt to regain their familiar position as the best in the business in the global T20 final at Lord's.
The showdown with hosts England in front of a 30,000 packed house at the home of cricket has the potential to be one of the great days in women's cricket, and there's been much speculation over whether the injured 35-year-old Perry, who's played in all 10 editions of the T20 World Cup, will feature again.
Australia coach Shelley Nitschke hinted Australia could play the six-time winner on Sunday (Monday AEST), even if she's not fully fit, after the quadricep 'awareness' scare that forced Perry to retire after facing just seven deliveries against the West Indies in Thursday's semi-final.
