Alyssa Healy is on track to play in the World Twenty20 semi-final against the West Indies as Australia look to prove that the country's struggles on slower wickets is just a myth for the women's team.
Australia received a boost on Tuesday (AEDT) with Healy passing all of her aerobic tests after her mild concussion in the weekend's loss to India.
She'll now progress to a skills test on Wednesday before hitting the nets on Thursday in a bid to play in Friday's semi-final against the defending champions.
That's again expected to be played on a slower and lower wicket in Antigua, a factor that shows no signs of being a threat to the Aussie women.
The wickets in the Caribbean throughout the tournament have been far closer to what's expected in Asia, with a number of games being played on each pitch each day.
Australia also took the step of playing a one-day and T20 series in Malaysia against Pakistan to ready themselves for the conditions, on a continent where they've won 67 of 79 games across all formats in the past five years.
"We certainly embrace the conditions as a group and look forward to them," Australia's women's coach Matthew Mott told AAP.
"They are a different challenge but once you're in a positive mindset towards them.
"Once we an deal with the ball hitting a different part of the bat than we are used to in Australia and quite possibly a little slower paced and not coming on, we've got batters who can adapt."
While Australia's batters haven't had the customary problems with the spinning ball, their bowlers have thrived.
Young spinner Sophie Molineux starred in Malaysia while off-spinning allrounder Ashleigh Gardner has five wickets in the World T20.
Quick Megan Schutt is the team's leading wicket-taker and is going at less than a-run-a-ball with her back-of-the-hand variations proving effective.
And they'll need to be on against the hosts on Friday (AEDT), who have powerhouse bats Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews.
"It's interesting. I think the perception is that players in Australia don't like slow wickets but our spinners love it," Mott said.
"It's a bit of a different game and hit the right length and bowl a bit straighter it's harder to score.
"We've got a team that can play on all wickets, they played on some beautiful batting wickets in Australia and our bowlers adapted really well wit some nice change ups and slower balls there."
