Australia targeting Ashes first in final ODI

The Ashes are won, but Australia have one last box they are determined to tick before they turn their attention to the upcoming ODI World Cup.

Meg Lanning's team will aim to end the series on a winning note in Tuesday's final ODI – something they have been unable to do on their past three Ashes tours, with England taking out the finale on each occasion – and consign their rivals to a winless campaign for the first time in the multi-format contest.

That momentum would give Australia an edge heading into their next showdown with England, who they will play in their opening World Cup game in Hamilton on March 5.

Beth Mooney and Darcie Brown are both in contention to return to Australia's XI for the Junction Oval match, after missing Sunday's second game with minor niggles.

However, with a 10-day period of hotel quarantine beginning on Thursday, Australia could opt for the cautious route – as England may also do with Katherine Brunt, who sat out Sunday's game with a minor side issue, and Kate Cross, who fell awkwardly on her right wrist in the field late in the match.

Australia coach Matthew Mott said on Sunday there would be no major shake-ups to the XI despite it being a dead rubber.

"I don't think we ever really look to do that," Mott told cricket.com.au.

"We'll be sensible, if there are players that are niggly, then it's not one to take a big risk on what's coming up with isolation and the World Cup.

"We'll be playing our best team that we think is available."

Mott said Australia would continue to take a cautious approach with 18-year-old fast bowler Brown throughout the World Cup, where they will play seven group matches in 21 days.

The No.1 ranked ODI side are already missing three key bowlers due to injury, with Victorian trio Tayla Vlaeminck (foot), Sophie Molineux (foot) and Georgia Wareham (ACL) all ruled out of the tournament in New Zealand.

"We were probably always looking at only two matches for Darcie in this series so with a bit of luck, we'll get the all clear and she can play in the last one," Mott said.

"If you look at some of the players that we're missing, we've got to manage our attack really well.

"We've got some depth, but you need your best players available in crucial games, so where we can make some substitutes and get by, we'll do that.

"We don't like doing it. But with the schedule we've got coming up we need our best players available at the right times."
