“The toss doesn’t matter much for me. The way we play our cricket matters more than anything else. We need to improve our fielding, we have had a discussion on the same. We are playing with the same XI.”
Meanwhile RCB captain Smriti Mandhana said, “We would have loved to field first. Toss isn’t a big factor as there’s not much dew here at the Chinnaswamy.”
“We would have loved to win the last game. In cricket you start from the first ball. We have figured out a few things, need to apply them in this match. We have one change, Rana comes in. Perry’s available to bowl a few overs.”
