Great Britain captain Pauline Stott admits her team are under pressure to beat Spain on Friday but remains confident about their chances of qualifying for the next 'Super Six' stage of the tournament.

However, their chances depend on Spain's result against Argentina and Britain will be eliminated if Spain triumph.

Stott said: "We're familiar with Spain's style and the way they pack the defence. All we can do is believe in ourselves and have the confidence to go out and do it. It's up to us to make it happen."

Britain performance director Chris Spice claimed the squad would be relying on preparation by the backroom staff. "We're very grateful for the invaluable job they do and it should stand us in good stead for the match."
