Injured allrounder Ellyse Perry has been ruled out of Australia's last Women's World Cup group game against Bangladesh on Friday.
But the Australian camp expect Perry to be fit for next week's finals.
Perry suffered back spasms and was forced from the field during Australia's win against South Africa on Tuesday.
Australia's physiotherapist Kate Beerworth says Perry's back is settling with treatment.
"She won't play tomorrow but we expect that she will be available for the semi-final," Beerworth said on Thursday.
Perry was hurt when tumbling over a boundary rope in a fielding attempt against the Proteas - she didn't bat as Australia banked their sixth consecutive win of the cup.
The Australians chased down South Africa's 5-271 to win with 28 balls to spare after earlier in the tournament reeling in India's 7-277 to triumph with three balls remaining.
Those victorious chases, propelled by captain Meg Lanning's 97 and unbeaten 135, has further enhanced Australia's belief, spinner Jess Jonassen said.
"It's huge, particularly for our batting group," she told reporters on Thursday.
"It was a really pleasing thing for our batting group to be able to go out and put a marker out there, I guess make a statement.
"The Indian game got a bit closer than we would have liked ... (but) coming into our last-round game and then the finals, hopefully it gives them even more confidence in higher pressure games."
And Jonassen warned that despite Australia's perfect record in the tournament - they're the only undefeated nation - there was improvement to come.
"It's something that we have identified throughout the whole tournament so far, that we are building towards this business end of the tournament," she said.
"I see Ash Gardner made the comments the other day that we're looking for the perfect game but ultimately we are just looking to improve each and every game in different areas.
"And we do have a bit to improve on still, particularly with the ball.
"Against South Africa we weren't able to take wickets up front but we were able to hold them.
"So just needing to tighten up in a few areas which I think is really exciting considering we have gone through undefeated whilst still identifying areas that we can still improve on."
