We wanted to bat because these wickets are a bit tricky. She will be fine but we have added an extra batter for today – Harleen in there, Shikha misses out. I think these wickets will help us, we are a very good bowling side.

We’d like to bat first. It is a dry wicket, won’t change much so we’d like to put up a total. It is unlucky she is not here with us, but this is an opportunity for someone else to perform. We have the confidence because we won against India last time but conditions are different here.
