Australian captain Meg Lanning has given 31-year-old star all-rounder Ellyse Perry a 'strong chance' to be in the playing XI for the summit clash against England in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup at the Hagley Oval here on Sunday.

Perry is in a race against time to prove her fitness after she complained of back spasm during Australia's group match against South Africa last week, where she left the field early after bowling just three overs and then failed to bat.
