After winning the toss, Smriti said spin all-rounder Shreyanka Patil replaces Asha Shobana in their playing eleven after their 60-run loss to Delhi Capitals at the same venue on Sunday.

"It looks like a good wicket to bat on. We had a chat and we want to stick to basics first instead of trying to post a big total. One of the top four must bat long to take the game to 170+ total."

Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said her team is unchanged from the 143-run win over Gujarat Giants in the tournament opener.

"Smriti is a little luckier than me (with the toss). We wanted to bowl first anyway. In T20, we need several bowling options and have confidence in our bowling unit."
