DC-W vs MI-W: Captains' Thoughts

Harmanpreet Kaur (Mumbai Indians Women Captain): "Well we were also looking to bowl first as well. I think anything is okay for us. If you look into the stats, in the last four games, all the teams that have batted first, have won the game. It's a totally different match and different atmosphere today so we want to stay in the moment. Well no doubt about it. They have played really good cricket in this tournament. Last week has been really good for us as well. We want to go with the same momentum. First season was a special feeling you know. Great memories and today is also another opportunity for us to win our second trophy. It's a beautiful day and we just want to enjoy the moment. We are going with the same XI."

Meg Lanning (Delhi Capitals Women Captain): "We are gonna have a bowl tonight. The conditions are expected to remain same throughout the course of the game. We have had some time to refresh. We took some days off before zeroing on the final tonight. All the girls are excited for this game tonight. It's an opportunity for us. We have got a direct entry into the final. We have got one change. Sri comes in place of Titas."
