TOSS - Success for Gujarat ate the coin flip. Gujarat's skipper, Ash Gardner has decided to BOWL first.

We are going to have a bowl. It was a pretty good surface the other night, our bowlers have stemmed the run flow and hopefully we can do that today as well. There was some dew last time and hope batting becomes easier later on. It has been a challenge but having some international expericence and players has helped. Different people have stood up at different times but most exciting thing has been our bowlers; be it Kashvee or Mona.

Toss news - Gujarat Giants Women have won the toss and have opted to field

We are back on pitch number 5. 65 meters is the longest boundary straight, 50 and 59 meters on the square. Looks good. Gujarat Giants scored 180+ on this pitch. It is quite hard and there is some grass covering. There is runs on offer once again. The atmospheric conditions will also play a part; there is going to be dew later on. The spinners will also have some help. The bowlers should make the batters hit to the long boundary.
