Table-toppers RCB are already assured of a playoff berth, and a sixth win on the trot will help them skip the Eliminator and secure a direct passage to the final. DC, meanwhile, are chasing to strengthen their push for the knockouts, and a win will brighten that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the toss, RCB captain Smriti Mandhana said seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy is fit, and she comes in for Prema Rawat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe were looking at the field. We definitely thought about it (what to do). With the wind around today, we don\u2019t expect as much dew as the previous games, and when it\u2019s windy, the dew tends to settle less,\" she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo batting first was certainly in our minds. But the way this tournament has gone, we seem to keep losing the toss - that\u2019s just how it\u2019s been. Very important (qualifying for the finals). We\u2019ve had good practice sessions, and everyone even turned up for the optional training, which says a lot about the group. As a captain and support staff, that\u2019s really pleasing. We\u2019re starting to look like a really good unit,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Delhi Capitals' skipper Jemimah Rodrigues said Chinelle Henry and Minnu Mani come in for Lucy Hamilton and Deeya Yadav, who have been ruled out of WPL due to a back injury. \u201cUnder lights, the ball will skid on, and the dew also will come on. It does look a bit fresher and seems to come on nicely off the bat, but from what we\u2019ve seen and read, it should still stay a little low.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo I don\u2019t think the game plan changes too much. The youngsters bring a lot of energy, but everything is new for them. We try to share our experience and feed off their enthusiasm - it works both ways, and it\u2019s been great,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
