Speaking at the toss, Harmanpreet said, "We gonna bat first, so far we haven't batted first so thought we will have a bat and put a decent total on the board. Feeling better (talking about her neck injury), if we play better cricket maybe I will feel more better. Asia Cup we played good cricket, one odd day they played good cricket. We are going with the same eleven we played in the same game."
