Australian women's cricket captain Meg Lanning is backing her side to finish the job against New Zealand on Sunday and keep the Rose Bowl for an 18th straight year.
Following Australia's four wicket win on Thursday in Mount Maunganui to level the one-day international series at 1-1, Lanning said her side thrived under pressure.
"It's happened to us in the past when we've lost the first game and come back and won the next two so we've been in this position before and we know that we can perform under pressure," Lanning said.
"I thought the performance was a really good team effort and hopefully we can carry that momentum into the next game."
The Australians may be forced to return to Bay Oval for the decider without star all-rounder Ellyse Perry, who injured her elbow while bowling.
"It's not too bad," Lanning said of the injury.
"We'll have to see if she's available - it's disappointing as she's a very important player for us."
Happy with the contribution from her bowlers, Lanning wants to see a batter step up with a big score like Beth Mooney did, making a century from 123 balls in their opening loss at Eden Park.
Mooney made 57 in the second match, while Alex Blackwell top-scored for Australia with 65 and Lanning picked up a handy 44 from 43.
"The big thing is for someone to really take control like Beth Mooney did in the first game because that's going to make it a lot easier to chase down totals or set a big score," Lanning said.
New Zealand 16-year-old spinner Amelia Kerr did the most damage for the home side in game two with 4-54 but Lanning said they wouldn't be paying her any extra attention in their preparations.
"Generally we scored off her pretty well; we just lost our wickets at the same time so a few little tweaks here and there and I think we'll be fine."
