Australia's women want a clean sweep of the Twenty20 series against New Zealand and won''t treat Friday's encounter as a chance to tinker with tactics for next month's global tournament.
The Aussies have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series before the clash in Canberra, with the Trans Tasman rivals drawn in the same group at the World T20 in the Caribbean.
Australia's series victory against the White Ferns bucked their recent trend of results against their neighbours, while the dangerous India are also in Group B next month with only the top two advancing to the knockout phase.
Australia captain Meg Lanning said her team would not trial different tactics against New Zealand at Manuka Oval.
"No, we're going in there to play our best cricket and to try and win," she said.
"We haven't looked too far ahead. We haven't finished off series well in the past and we're very keen to do that.
"We know our best game is still out there so we will be looking to do that."
Australia have finished in the past four women's T20 finals - having won in 2010, 2012 and 2014 before being beaten by the West Indies in the 2016 decider.
A win on Friday will mean they have won their past six T20 matches before flying to the Caribbean for warm-up matches against England and South Africa.
"There's no doubt it's a really big tournament coming up but as a group we haven't spoken about the World Cup at all," Lanning said.
"We've been really focused on this series and we're very keen to make sure we put out the best game of the series tomorrow night.
"Momentum is a big thing and we're looking forward to doing it tomorrow night."
That lack of changes is also likely to include Australia's batting line up.
Having won both matches against New Zealand by four wickets, the likes of Ellyse Perry at No.7 are yet to walk to the wicket in the series.
"We've always got options, we've got eight people in the team who open for their WBBL team," Lanning said.
"On any given day anyone could bat anywhere.
"We've got a good mix at the moment so it depends on the game situation for who comes in next."
