England Women’s captain Nat Sciver-Brunt says they also wanted to bowl first, expecting some dew later in the evening. Since they are batting first, the simple plan is to put a strong total on the board. He emphasizes the importance of partnerships and says that maintaining momentum and building stands will be key, especially after seeing how India used big partnerships in their last outing. He informs that they are going with the same playing XI, keeping the combination stable before the knockouts. He adds that the team had clear discussions about how to stay confident and composed as they approach the crucial stages of the tournament. He says with a smile that facing Australia is always exciting, especially when both teams are undefeated.
