Bangladesh bowl first in tournament opener, Mandhana out with illness

Toss Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl v India

Bangladesh won the toss in their first match of the T20 World Cup and elected to bowl against India. Bangladesh had beaten Pakistan in their only warm-up game before the start of the tournament and captain Salma Khatun said they would bring the confidence from that to open their campaign, becoming the last team from Group A to do so. A win in Monday's game will be their first one in the T20 World Cup since 2014.

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said her team had been looking to bat first anyway in a bid to put on a decent score, but revealed a significant detail that would make that task harder - opening batter Smriti Mandhana was out with a viral fever. She was replaced by 16-year-old Richa Ghosh, although it was not clear whether Ghosh would slot straight into Mandhana's spot, with wicketkeeper Taniya Bhatia also an option to open the batting. The rest of the line-up remained unchanged from their win against Australia.

India: Shafali Verma, Taniya Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Veda Krishnamurthy, Shika Pandey, Arundhati Reddy, Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad

Bangladesh: Murshida Khatun, Shamima Sultana, Sanjida Islam, Nigar Sultana Joty, Fargana Hoque, Rumana Ahmed, Salma Khatun, Fahima Khatun, Jahanara Alam, Panna Ghosh, Nahida Akter
