“Considering the wicket, I don’t mind doing both. But would’ve loved to bat as well. We had the discussion as a bowling unit . First two games weren’t the way we wanted to start. It’s 8 matches before the eliminator or the final. A very important game in that context. One change, Disha misses out, Poonam comes in for her,” Smiriti Mandhana, RCB captain said.
