Teams:
The big news from the toss is that Deandra Dottin is out with an injury which she picked up during the warmups apparently. Could be a massive loss for Gujarat Giants.

Harmanpreet: Yeah it's a fresh pitch (would MI have bowled first as well?). For us, anything was okay. We have been in this situation twice and know how important this game is. Only thing which works well is when you stay in the moment. One change - Parunika is not playing and Saika is back.
Gardner: We're going to bowl. It's another fresh wicket,

Pitch and conditions | Deep Dasgupta and Mithali Raj: Fresh pitch for the game tonight. 52 meters and 59 meters square boundaries. Straight boundary is 68 meters. The pitch is brownish in colour. There is decent amount of grass but it is only to bind the wicket. There are patches where there's not much grass, so it could be on the slower side. There is a little bit of moisture, but it probably will ease out when the match gets going. There could be help for seamers in the powerplay, but will ease out after that.
In previous editions at this venue, teams batting second did rather well, but the toss hasn't been a big advantage this year with the chasing side losing both matches so far.
