IND-W Vs WI-W: Pitch Report

Pitch Report by WV Raman: "It's a day game and the conditions are different. It is overcast and we are back on Pitch Number 6. It's 62 meters down the ground and 59 meters in the square boundaries. West Indies need to get runs. Hayley was brilliant in the other game. Hopefully we will see the other West Indies batters to get some runs on the board. It's a good pitch out here at Vadodara. So we will see the trend of runs being scored at this venue today as well."

IND-W Vs WI-W: Captain's Thoughts

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain): "Yeah it was a great break for us. We had a great dinner last night so now focusing on this game. Well it was important to stay together as a unit and last night was a great day. Yeah one thing we spoke about is that, we want to bat for 50 overs. We failed to do the same against Australia but happy for the performance so far. Yeah we have 1 change. Tanuja Kanwar is making her ODI Debut today in place of Saima Thakor."

Hayley Matthews (West Indies Women Captain): "We are going to have a bat first today. Yeah obviously change in conditions and also change in tactics for us. Hopefully that brings a change in result for us. Yeah it has been really good in the last few days for us. We celebrated Christmas and worked really hard in the training ground yesterday so we are ready for this game today. Yeah sometimes to be honest. We have not played the best brand of cricket in this series and we want to improve. Yeah we have a few changes in our XI."
