"We're going to bowl first, looks like there could be some moisture on the wicket. One change for us - our confidence is great, hopefully we'll play better today. Anything under 250 could be a good chase," Fatima Sana said.

"We played a good series here before the WC. We're thinking positively and are looking to do well. One unfortunate change - Amanjot isn't playing (she's ill), Renuka Thakur replaces well. We've gelled well as a team and looking forward to today's contest," Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said.
