“We are going to bowl. It was quite difficult to defend during the big bash. So we would like to restrict them and chase it down,” van Niekerk said at the toss as quoted by Cricbuzz.
Meanwhile, England skipper Heather Knight also stated that she would have liked to bowl first at this wicket.
“We would have bowled as well. We are excited to start the campaign. We have changes in the management and we have a lot of freshness,” Knight said.
