Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning
“We will bowl first. It is a good wicket to bat on. We would like to bowl in good areas. We will have to deal with the game practically instead of getting emotional. We will try to rectify our mistakes instead of putting ourselves in a hole.” Smriti Mandhana said.
UP Warriorz skipper Meg Lanning is not thinking about the toss factor.
