Women's WC: Knight Set For 150th ODI As England Opt To Bowl Against South Africa
ODI World Cup: England won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the fourth match of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup here at the Barsapara Stadium on Friday. This will be Heather Knight's 150th WODI for England, making her the second England player after Charlotte Edwards to get to this milestone.
"We are going to have a bowl first. As a team, we like to get there in a group and make a mark. We are going with two seamers and three spinners. We also have all-rounders in our side. I just think we are confident with how we want to, especially with the bat. With the ball, we are still looking to take wickets," said England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt at the toss.
"Heather has a lot of experience. I guess she's only the second England Woman to play 150 ODIs. It's such an achievement. It's amazing to have her back. I'll be using that knowledge of hers,” she added.
