UP Warriorz skipper Alyssa Healy said at the time of toss,"We are going to have a bowl. Little bit of green which is rare in India. We have made a large call, Grace Harris sits out and Ismail comes in. We have made an impact call and hopefully Ismail does that tonight. We have some talented local Indian players and that is a benefit. The belief within the group is there and it will be tested tonight against a good Delhi side."

We are going with the same team. Hopefully more of the same, but it is a new day and we have to start well. It is going to be a good challenge for us."
