The on-field decision stands, but Mooney is not happy with something here and has a chat with the umpire. Gujarat's head coach, Michael Klinger, is also having an animated conversation with the fourth umpire on the sidelines.

It will be the experienced left-hand, right-hand combination of Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine to open the innings for the Giants. Chinelle Henry bowled the first over in the previous game and dismissed Meg Lanning on the very first ball. Tonight, though, it will be Marizanne Kapp to send down the first over. Kapp to Mooney. A slip in place. Here we go!
