Australia Won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at the toss, Healy said, “We’re going to bowl. Got dewy last evening while training. Hopefully can slide on the bat. Just one change.”
“Molineux is back and Wareham misses out. Nice to have Soph back. At some point during World Cups, you just need to get what needs to be done and get the win,” added Healy.
“But when you come up against a really good opposition like India, you need to put everything together. My first time back in Vizag since 2011. Should be a great atmosphere. Got a bit of Aussie support. Girls are pumped for that,” concluded Alyssa Healy.
Meanwhile, Harmanpreet Kaur said, “Pitch looks better than what we had in the last game. Same XI. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It’s about how you bounce back. We were there in the game for 95 overs, lots of positives for us.”
“They’ve always been important for us. Always been nice, cheering the team day and night. Biggest part in our lives that we’re getting this support,” concluded Harmanpreet Kaur.
