It's a special day for all of us, want to enjoy this moment. This is a good wicket to bat on, but there will be something in it for the bowlers as well. We have some young players who'll be featuring today and we're looking forward to seeing how they play. 

We will bowl. Looks pretty even with the grass, it's a hard and flat surface, plenty of runs here. Absolutely thrilled to be part of  WPL, a big crowd and I'm loving it. We have an entertaining group, we speak a lotabout cricket. We have had the experience of playing in front of a big ground, we can pass it on to the younger members. Three seamers and four spinners in our playing XI today, looking at taking some early wickets.

Beth Mooney wins toss and opts to bowl first. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led team will bat first.
