A sixth successive white-ball win over South Africa, courtesy of a 38-run victory at Derby, means the hosts' form couldn't be much better ahead of the Birmingham Games
Nat Sciver believes England's aggressive approach can be enough to outmuscle Australia in pursuit of Commonwealth Games gold this summer.
The hosts will arrive in Birmingham off the back of six straight white-ball wins over South Africa after the 38-run win in Derby.
Batting first, their 176 for 6 was the joint-11th highest T20I score in their history.
Captain Heather Knight, who remains sidelined with a hip problem, explained the intent to be aggressive in the powerplay was behind Tammy Beaumont's omission from the squad for the eight-team tournament.
"I think we have settled on the way we want to play - having that aggression with bat and ball, especially in the powerplay," Sciver, who stood in as skipper for Knight, told Sky Sports.
"Hopefully, that puts us in a good position for the Commonwealth Games. I think this is our best chance [to beat Australia].

"People have really taken their chances. I think that's the most exciting thing - everyone has contributed and had their moments.
"It's probably the most fun I have had on the pitch in a long time and when you are enjoying cricket you are probably playing well as well. It is infectious."
Reigning T20I and 50-over world champions Australia will start the Commonwealths as favourites for gold, in the first appearance for women's cricket at the multi-sport event.
Placed on opposite sides of the draw, England and Australia are on a collision course for a repeat of the World Cup final in April, which Meg Lanning's side won by 71 runs.
The T20 tournament runs from July 29 to August 7, with all matches taking place at Edgbaston. Australia kick-off their campaign on the opening day against India, while England are in action 24 hours later against Sri Lanka.
