Chamari Athapaththu: We want to keep it simple. Fresh day, fresh match, start from 0, that's what I want to do. We talk about a lot of things, but it's about keeping things simple. I am happy to be part of this WPL, finally really good opportunity for me, I am here to play my natural game. I wanna enjoy here. (Bowling) Last couple of months, I have worked hard in the nets, I bowled with my bowling coaches as well. The last couple of months, I didn't get any opportunity to play in franchise cricket, but I performed very well in international cricket, so I want to continue this form in franchise cricket as well. (WPL vs WBBL) Different conditions, different atmosphere, a lot of people are here, that's a really good thing here. WBBL - teams, team environment is different. WPL is very similar to Sri Lanka, conditions also similar to Sri Lanka and atmosphere also. I am happy to be part of this WPL. I love to be part of UP Warriorz, I want to be a good team player all the time.

Smriti Mandhana: We would have loved to bowl as well. The wicket looks good. Unbelievable support. We move to Delhi, hopefully we get some support there as well. Chinnaswamy has been amazing. A lot of thinking in the last two matches, things which we need to work on. Momentum is important in T20 cricket. We have to play good and hard cricket. Shreyanka misses because of a niggle
Alyssa Healy: We'll bowl first just like every other time. It's quite humid and there's a lot of moisture. Winning the toss helps. We have figured out the way we want to play. The players are contributing. We fought back really nicely. It's going to be a cracking contest. It's about enjoying the atmosphere. No changes.
