Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian women's cricket team is set to take on Chamari Athapaththu's Sri Lanka women's team in match 12 of the ongoing edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 which is being played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, on October 9 (Wednesday). India has won one game and lost one but on the other hand, the Lanka women's side has lost both their games and might suffer an early exit with another loss here.
India won the toss and elected to bat first. They are playing with the same team that appeared in the game against Pakistan. On the other hand, SL have made one change and are eager to open their account. They brought in Ama Kanchana for Hasini Perera.
Captains at Toss
"We gonna bat first, so far we haven't batted first so thought we will have a bat and put a decent total on the board. Feeling better (talking about her neck injury), if we play better cricket maybe I will feel more better. Asia Cup we played good cricket, one odd day (talking about the final where India lose to Sri Lanka) they played good cricket. We are going with the same eleven we played in the same game," said Harmanpreet Kaur after winning the toss.
"We stick with our plans and hope to play our best cricket today. We have to play fearless cricket and taking the smart option is very important. Powerplay is really important and after that we have to rotate strike. We have one change, Ama Kanchana back in the side for Hasini Perera," said Athapaththu.
