Harmanpreet Kaur at toss
Harmanpreet Kaur: We were ready to do both, we weren’t dependent on the toss. I know we are playing after a long time, so we thought as a team, we will go out there and play our natural game. We were champions last year and will keep continuing to do the same. We will look to enjoy ourselves. I want to put myself more into batting, hopefully I’ll bat little up and give a good start to my team. We have a good side and it was hard to decide who’ll play in the XI.

Mithali Raj: “We will have a bowl. We’ve got three seamers in, there will be a bit of breeze and it will get easier to chase in the second innings. For women’s cricket, it is very important to have this yearly basis. It’s also a great platform for young cricketers. We saw Shafali doing great for India.”
