Australian captain Meg Lanning has given 31-year-old star all-rounder Ellyse Perry a `strong chance` to be in the playing XI for the summit clash against England in the ICC Women`s Cricket World Cup at the Hagley Oval here on Sunday.

Perry is in a race against time to prove her fitness after she complained of back spasm during Australia`s group match against South Africa last week, where she left the field early after bowling just three overs and then failed to bat.
