Newlands, Cape Town: West Indies women won the toss on Wednesday against India and elected to bat in the ICC T20 World Cup.
Here's what the captains had to say:
Harmanpreet Kaur: We wanted to bat today. Last game we chased. Today, the wicket is looking a little better compared to the last game. We wanted to bat first. Smriti and Devika are back. We know them. We played a couple of games before the tournament. Big day for all of us (when asked about the auction).
Hayley Matthews: We are gonna have a bat. Last game didn't go too badly. We have one change. We had the tri-series. India are a strong side. We would look to get better of them by playing our brand of cricket.
