Toss Australia chose to bat vs India

And although Ghosh was named in the side, Yastika Bhatia would continue to keep wicket. Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Rajeshwari Gayakwad are the three spinners for India, while Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar will do the fast-bowling duties.

Australia went with three spinners in Ashleigh Gardner, Jess Jonassen and Alana King, and two fast bowlers in Kim Garth and Cheatle. That meant there was no place in the playing XI for Darcie Brown. They also have allrounders Annabel Sutherland and Ellyse Perry.

This is the first time that Healy is leading Australia after she was formally appointed the Australia captain following the retirement of Meg Lanning.

India: 1 Shafali Verma, 2 Smriti Mandhana, 3 Jemimah Rodrigues, 4 Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), 5 Richa Ghosh, 6 Yastika Bhatia (wk), 7 Deepti Sharma, 8 Pooja Vastrakar, 9 Sneh Rana, 10 Renuka Singh, 11 Rajeshwari Gayakwad
