India won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking on the toss, Harmanpreet Kaur said, βThis is something that I am not used to. Winning tosses is not my cup of tea. We are looking to bowl first. Deepti is not well, so Sneh Rana takes her place. It was a very good cricket match from our end. We want to go with the same approach.β
Meanwhile, Chamari Athapaththu said, βWe are going with the same XI. I am still confident in my team, weβve backed a few youngsters and want to give them more opportunities.β
βThe key for us is to play positive cricket in the middle overs. In the last game we played a few shots behind square. Today, we want to play straighter β focus more on long-on and long-off, play to our strengths and build partnerships. Hopefully, our batters step up today,β concluded Athapaththu.
