Go Exchange Id users and cricket fans witnessed an exciting start to the Women’s T20 World Cup as India won the toss and decided to bat first against Pakistan in their Group A match in Birmingham.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur chose to put runs on the board first on a pitch that looked good for batting. The team made a few important changes for this big match. Bharti Fulmali got the chance ahead of Yastika Bhatia after her impressive performance in the warm-up games. Young fast bowler Kranti Gaud was also included in the playing XI, while experienced seamer Renuka Singh missed out.
India went with a balanced combination of pace and spin bowlers. Along with Kranti Gaud, Bharti Fulmali and left-arm spinner Shree Charani made their T20 World Cup debuts. Fans following the match through their Go Exchange Id were eager to see how these young players would perform on the big stage.
Pakistan captain Fatima Sana said her team would also have preferred to bat first as the pitch looked suitable for batting. She was declared fit after recovering from a knee injury suffered during training. Pakistan entered the tournament after difficult warm-up matches against Scotland and Sri Lanka, but Sana remained confident about her bowling attack.
Pakistan handed World Cup debuts to batter Saira Jabeen and left-arm pacer Tasmia Rubab. Experienced bowler Diana Baig was not included in the playing XI, making Rubab’s selection an important talking point before the match.
