Heather Knight stated that she too would have batted first here.

"We would have batted first, but we'll have to set the tone with the ball first. The conditions have been tricky to bat, we've discussions on how to play our brand of cricket. We did a lot right the other night, very different conditions to what we faced when we played them last time, they're a quality team. Same team for us as well," said Knight.
