Richa states that India would look to attack from the outset, however, also said that the team is wary of the threat that Australia possess.

"We know the weak spot of Australia and we are planning against it but I will not say what that (weakness) is because then they will come prepared." She also said, "They attack a lot. So, whatever happens to them, even if the batter is out, they don't leave the attacking. Because they have batters from top to bottom. We also have batter from top to bottom. So, we will play an attacking game."
