Earlier, Australia Women won the toss and opted to have a bat first. “We will have a bat first. Looks pretty dry, we played on this one in the first ODI. Darcie Brown is missing out and Megan Schutt is coming back after a niggle. We don’t like losing, so, yes, 3-0 is what we are looking forward to but we can’t underestimate this strong Indian team,” said Healy after the toss.
