Australian women's team crushed China 3-0 in its last preliminary in
Beijing on Saturday before the two sides are to clash again in Monday's
final.

Hope Munro put Australia ahead in the ninth minute and Nicole Hudson
found the net in the 54th minute before Rebecca Sanders slotted the third
goal four minutes later.

Within four minutes before the final whistle, Australian goal keeper
palmed away China's two penalty corners to lock the result.

Argentina whitewashed South Africa 6-0 earlier the day before the two
teams battle for the bronze on Monday.
