It's been quite the summer of sport between Australia and England.
First, the Ashes took place in cricket – with Australia coming out on top in both the men's and women's formats.
A few weeks later, Australia beat its English counterpart in the final of the Netball World Cup.
And on Wednesday, the two will once again do battle, this time in the semifinal of the Women's World Cup.
Both are on magical runs, with Australia pushed on by its home crowd while England has continued its success under Sarina Wiegman following victory at the Women's Euros last year.
The Matildas are gradually recovering captain and all-time topscorer Sam Kerr back from injury, as she has played progressively more as the tournament has gone on, while also getting key contributions from other role players.
On the other hand, England has been effective if not emphatic in its run to the semifinal, with narrow victories becoming the norm. The team is likely though to feel the absence of Lauren James, who will serve the second match of her two-game suspension on Wednesday after she was sent off for stepping on the back of Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie during the round-of-16 game at Brisbane Stadium.
With fascinating tactical and personal battles across the pitch, Wednesday's semifinal – with both looking for their first ever Women's World Cup final spot – to set up a clash against Spain should be a thrilling watch.
