After beating Indonesia 18-0 in their opening game, Australia will face the Philippines in the next Group B match of the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2022. The game will take place at the Mumbai Football Arena. The Matildas are all but certain to advance to the knockout stage with a game to spare.

Sam Kerr scored five goals in the last game and now sits four above Tim Cahill who held their national goal-scoring record with 50 goals. Emily van Egmond also netted a hat-trick.

Meanwhile, the game against Thailand was a watershed occasion for the Philippines. They had never beaten their regional rivals in 12 attempts at senior level.

The game against the Philippines also means Australia will square off against their former boss Alen Stajcic.
