NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Smriti Mandhana won the toss and opted to bat in their Women's Premier League (WPL) match against UP Warriorz at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday.
Grace Harris replaced Shabnim Ismail in the Warriorz playing eleven.
"Pretty sure we wanted to bat first. But we get to bowl first. Hopefully we'll restrict them to something we can chase. Pitch is not going to change too much," Warriorz skipper Alyssa Healy said at the toss.
"Would like to bat first. Looks like a good wicket. We've seen in the tournament a good total on the board helps. As a bowling unit, we had a word about bowling plans with regard to the short boundaries. Not the way we wanted to start, but it's a long tournament, I want to keep our heads high," said RCB skipper Mandhana after winning the toss.
