"We'll bowl first. In night games, it is always better to chase because of the dew. Today, we are bowling first and won't have to worry about defending like the last game. No changes for us," said Harmanpreet Kaur after winning the toss.

"Not too fussed about losing the toss. The wicket is a bit dry. So we have a good chance to bat first and get a good score. We'll look to score about 185, which would be about par on this track. We'll look to defend that with our bowling. We're playing two debutants tonight -- Phoebe Litchfield and Heather Graham playing for us," said Alyssa Healey after the toss.
