Smriti Mandhana (Royal Challengers Bangalore Women ): "That doesn't bother me as a captain. It's amazing if you lose the toss but win the game. We were looking to field first anyway. One change for us. Renuka misses out, unfortunately. Preeti comes in for her."

Onto the RCB skipper...

Sneh Rana (Gujarat Giants Captain): "We are gonna bat first. The matches have been played earlier here so it will be slower in the next innings. There is 1 change, [Sabhhineni] Meghana comes in for Mansi [Joshi]. I am really happy with the way the girls performed the other day. I think everyone was brilliant on the field. The attitude should be always positive and I hope they will do the same tonight. 160-165 is the par score on this wicket."
