Captain’s Comments:
Harmanpreet Kaur (India): We’re going to bowl first. We want to put pressure on their batters because it’s the first game, sometimes it’s very difficult to know what a good score. Also our team is very confident in chasing. Shreyanka and Saika are playing their first games today. We just want to continue playing good cricket at Mumbai.
Heather Knight (England): We would’ve bowled first too. We had a couple of days to acclimatize. We’re looking to build on the things we’ve done in the past year. We did really well in the English summer earlier, showed a lot of intent. Hoping for a big crowd today and hoping to do well.
