The Matildas will be looking to kick off their AFC Women's Asian Cup campaign in convincing fashion when they face Indonesia on Friday night.
After winning the tournament in 2010, Australia have lost to Japan in the final of the past two editions and will be desperate to secure silverware ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup on home soil.
Indonesia are competing in their first Asian Cup since 1989 and are currently ranked 94th in the world - 83 spots below the Matildas.
