Meg Lanning, Australian skipper at the toss: "We batted first number of times through this tournament and done it really well. I lose the toss most of the times anyway, certainly tend to bat first and we are very happy with that and I think the conditions will be really good throughout the day."

Heather Knight, England skipper at the toss: "It is a fresh wicket and hopefully dew will play a part later. We bowled outstandinly here and batted well as well. We know the conditions well and hopefully we can use that to our advantage. It's been a really remarkable run for this team, we have been playing knock-out cricket for five games now, hopefully we can do one more win and lift that trophy."
