Co-hosts Australia will head into the Women's World Cup with confidence and seek to continue their winning streak, goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold said, as they eye their first global crown after battling for years to be counted among the game's heavyweights.

"To get results against those teams and a couple clean sheets as well, I think it shows a lot of confidence and consistency," she said."So yeah, a lot of confidence heading into the first games."
