🏏WPL 2023: UP Warriorz W vs RCB W: Match 8: Venue: B S, Mumbai 🏏 - Page 3

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women have won the toss and have opted to bat

Mandhana: Would like to bat first. Looks 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, want to keep our heads high.

Healy: 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. Shabnim Ismail misses out, Grace Harris is back in, much to everyone's delight. You look at the other night, we lost by 40, but if someone was there with Tahlia, we could've got closer.

Tahlia McGrath: Pretty positive. The main message from the captain and coach has been true to true, we are enjoying this experience and playing with smiles on our face, looking to make the most of it. She (Harris) took the news really well, every time I looked at the big screen she had a smile on her face and was cheering on the team. It is a good problem to have such a quality player miss out but we have a good team mentality here and everyone is just team first. I was happier when I got the first ball duck but got the win, cricket is a funny game and hopefully we are back to winning. I did enjoy some time out in the middle, the World Cup was enjoyable, I had to play a slightly different role in the Australian team but absolutely loved that, I just love batting and I enjoyed my time in the middle, hopefully some more runs in the tournament. It is all about embracing and enjoying this experience, really making the most of this experience.

Devine is playing like a champion, if she stays for long, she will elevate the score a bit high.

Today, I want to see RCB win this match. ⭐️
