Women’s Premier League: Who said what at the toss?

Smiriti Mandhana | RCB Women stand-in captain: It was a good wicket when we played in the last game and I think it’s going to play well. For us it’s about doing the right and simple things, it’s about playing good cricket and do the right things in all departments. If we do right things, we would be able to defeat anyone.

Nat Sciver-Brunt | MI Women stand-in captain: We are gonna have a bowl first, typically in this competition so far, it has been easier to chase. No, it’s the same team as the other night.
