We were looking to field because of the dew factor. We will help our bowlers to defend the total. We have been forced to make one change. Harman had a niggle. She has been rested. Hopefully, she will be fit. Raghvi has done well with the India A side against Australia. She bowls handy medium pace with a very interesting action.
