Jemimah Rodrigues: "Firstly, in such big games, it's better to lose the toss. Because sometimes it always works out for good. So we would have also bowled first, but we're happy with what came. We're going with the same team. (Preparation for the final) I think, just kept it very simple. Didn't try to overthink it too much. Kept it simple, kept our plan simple. One good thing is playing the Eliminator, we're playing on the same pitch again. So we know what it's going to look like. And yeah, we're ready for today."

Smriti Mandhana said ,"We'd like to field first today. Of course, it's been a trend in the tournament, but having said that, on a good wicket, it's always good to know what you're going to chase. We're playing with the same XI what we played in the last match. (On the break and and playing the final) It's been brilliant, I feel. First 2-3 days, we all had a good time off. We didn't think a lot about cricket. And of course, in the last two or three days, we came back together, practised hard. And again, there's nice nerves, nice anxiousness, and nice excitement. And I feel you all have to embrace it. And we've all had a chat about it. And don't run away from it, just embrace it. (Different preparations for the final?) Well, I'm not sure that it's different. What's worked for us is keeping things as simple as we can. And I think nothing changes for us today as well. Everyone had that calm energy today. But of course, the excitement level is high. And for sure, I mean, we know that we have to turn up and play our best cricket."
