Pakistan win toss, opt to bat against India in Women's T20 World Cup

NEW DELHI: Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana won the toss and opted to bat against India in their Women's T20 World Cup match in Dubai on Sunday.

Team India has altered their line-up, bringing in off-spinner Sajeevan Sajana in place of medium pacer Pooja Vastrakar, who is dealing with a minor injury.

As for Pakistan's playing XI, they have made a change as well, with leg spinner Syeda Aroob Shah coming in for medium pacer Diana Baig.

"We will bat first, put up a total on the board. Diana Baig misses out, that's the only change, she's replaced by Arooba. It's a big blow, but we've players who can do well in her absence. We'll try to put up a good total here. I'm excited to lead Pakistan against India," Sana said after winning the toss.

"We would have batted first as well, but we'll have to bowl well and restrict them. We have one change, Pooja is out with an injury, she's replaced by Sajana. We'll have to move forward with a positive approach, it's always how you bounce back and we've spoken about it. We will go out there and play some positive cricket," India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said at the toss.
