Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat against India in their opening ICC Women's T20 World Cup Group B match here on Sunday.


The Harmanpreet Kaur-led India brought in Harleen Deol in place of Smriti Mandhana, who is out of the opening match after suffering a finger injury during a warm-up game against Australia.

Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof said the decision to bat first was taken after looking at the wicket, which was dry.

Shikha Pandey did not find a place in the playing XI.
