Gujarat Giants won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, GG Women’s captain Ashleigh Gardner said, “We are going to have a bowl.”

“It was a pretty good surface the other night, our bowlers have stemmed the run flow in the recent games and hopefully we can do that today as well.”

“There was some dew last time and hope batting becomes easier later on. It (captaincy) has been a challenge but having some international expericence and the coaching staff has helped.”

“Different people have stood up at different times but most exciting thing has been our bowlers; be it Kashvee or Fulmali.”

Meanwhile DC Women captain Meg Lanning said, ” I think it looks a good batting wicket. It does not matter what you do first till you do it well. The group has done well to switch on and off when needed.”

“We have got one change. Most opening bowlers in the league have done well, the ball has swung around and for us it is about getting through that period.”
