Australia won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, Tahlia McGarth said, We’re going to bowl first. Pretty happy to chase under lights, little bit extra grass left on the wicket. Important in tourmanent play to keep the momentum going. Excited for Volly who comes in. Molineux and Garth are back.
Meanwhile, Nat Sciver-Brunt said, “Wanted to bowl as well for similar reasons. Might be dew later on. Partnerships are really important (lessons from the previous game). Same team. We discussed it but we want to go in with confidence in the knockout stages. What a great time to play Australia. Will make for a great game.”
