PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop is by the center patch and he says that the wind is swirling around him, but the conditions are beautiful. The square boundaries are around 60m, but it is around 70m straight. He is joined by W V Raman who mention that it is dry and slow so the pitch will be a bit difficult to bat on. Bishop adds that there may be some uneven bounce on this pitch as well.

Harmanpreet Kaur the skipper of India Women says that they wanted to bat since they chased in the last game and wanted to see how they set a target. Mentions that the wicket is looking better than before but they just wanted to bat first and it had nothing to do with the conditions. Claims that Smriti Mandhana is in the side and she loves to chase so they are looking forward to with Devika Vaidya also brought into the team. Reckons that it is good for them that they know the opponent well as they played a few times recently and they we want to do the same that they did in the first game. Ends by saying that the recently concluded auction was a big day for all of them but the world cup is imortant so they want to focus on it at the moment.

Hayley Matthews the captain of West Indies Women says that they will bat first. Adds that the wicket played well in the previous game and they want to put up some runs on the board and then try to defend it.
