Here's What Both Captains Said During Toss

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women Captain):

"We are going to bowl first tonight. It looks a pretty fresh wicket and we are going to fancy chasing it later. We are going with the same team. The pitch looks good. It comes nicely onto the bat later in the night. We are confident heading into this game. But it's a fresh day and a fresh game. We know Australia will come out hard. We'll see how the pitch plays and how the girls go. Looking forward to this game."

Tahlia McGrath (Australia Women Captain):

"Yeah absolutely, its a really nice wicket, quick outfield and hopefully we can put good runs on the board for some scoreboard pressure. I was nervous to be honest with the flip of the coin because I am used to the bat flip back in Australia for the Big Bash. No we are going with the same XI that we had against India Women."
