Women's U19 World Cup: Shafali, Shweta slay South Africa - Highlights
"We are aiming for the trophy"
"We are definitely aiming for the trophy. Playing a series against South Africa here helped. My role in this team is different from the senior team. Here I am the senior batter, so have to take my teammates together," says Richa Ghosh.
PITCH REVIEW
"160 is what the team batting first should eye for," says Julia Pryce in the pitch review.
"We are good to go"
"It is fine (losing the toss). We are happy with the conditions and are good to go. We are backing our teammates to do well," says Indian skipper Shafali Verma.
