They posted scores of 4-under 68 and 69 respectively, reaching a three-round total of 11-under 205 at Sentosa Golf Club.
Trailing the Australian duo are American Angel Yin and South Korea's Haeran Ryu, who are tied for third place. The leaderboard saw several players vying for the lead earlier in the round, with six players tied at 9-under before Angel Yin took a temporary lead.

Defending champion Lydia Ko and top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul are among the other notable players, further down the leaderboard.
