Smriti Mandhana said this after losing the toss

We already knew this. There’s going to be a lot of noise and support. RCB’s fan base is like this. I think it is the same wicket as last night. If we play to our strengths then 175 runs will be a good score.

Alyssa Healy said this after winning the toss

We will have a bowl first. It is amazing to play on such a ground. We have to work with the ball. Poonam is going to play a big role, Chamari Athapaththu – our foreign recruitment will also play an important role for us. Excited to play here.
