CRI听力:China Prepare for New Zealand in WWC Group A

China's women's national team will face New Zealand on Tuesday for the third group match at this year's Women's World Cup.

Team captain Wu Haiyan is hoping to shrug off an injury concern and be available for the game.　

"I trained yesterday and I hope tomorrow I can attend the game, but I need to wait until tomorrow until the final result."

New Zealand have won three out of four meetings over the past three years.

The Kiwis head coach Tony Readings offers these thoughts on the coming match.

"In some of the other groups you get teams that are a lot stronger and can maybe not perform as well and win, but in this game it's going to be who performs the best on the day will win and we've prepared as well as we can and we're hoping that's obviously going to be us."

China is now ranked second in Group A with 3 points, 1 point behind hosts Canada.

A win will guarantee China a place in the last 16.

The game will kick off at 7: 30 a.m., Beijing time.
