The Indian women are hosting the World Cup for the first time since 2013 and will look to claim their maiden ICC title. India reached the finals in 2005 and 2017 but fell short on both occasions.

Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu won the toss at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium and opted to bowl first, citing the dew factor. Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said she would have preferred to bowl first but plans to use the opportunity to post a big total.
