Christine Sinclair will play her final match for Canada against a fired-up Australia at BC Place in Vancouver on Tuesday night (Wednesday AEDT).
The venue has been renamed CS Place in honour of Sinclair, who is the all-time leading international goalscorer with 190 goals.
After a 5-0 drubbing in the first friendly, the Matildas will be keen to strike back with a likely experienced line-up to be named by coach Tony Gustavsson.
