Here's What Both Captains Said During Toss

Hayley Matthews (West Indies Women Captain):

"We are going to bowl first today. I think we were good against Scotland last time and hope for the same today. We have seen the wicket keeping a bit low but looks like we have got a fresh wicket we have got today. Yeah, not how great as I would have liked. But tha's the game of cricket. Hopefully I can get a few from the middle. We have made one change. Mandy Mangru is making her debut today and she comes in for Chedean Nation."

Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh Women Captain):

"We wanted to bat first. So, we are happy with it. We have played a couple of games so far. We put up a good score in the match against Scotland. We want to focus on our strengths. We have had a couple of good practice sessions. We have been struggling with the batting, and we know that. We know that this is a good wicket, and we have the experience of playing here. We are going with the same team."
