TOSS - The coin goes up in the air and lands in favour of Delhi. They have elected to BOWL first.
The level of under-19 is different and it is elite level here. As a coach, the more experience you can share, it is good for the team. Whichever team plays well and performs well in all three departments, wins the game. The girls have been encouraged to approach the game positively. The wickets are changing and we are planning according to that. The girls bowled very well in the previous game.
