Toss India chose to bowl vs Bangladesh

Harmanpreet Kaur continues her winning streak with the toss and opted to bowl first in the opening ODI against Bangladesh in Mirpur.

India handed out ODI debuts to allrounder Amanjot Kaur and left-arm spinner B Anusha. They also left Shafali Verma out of their XI and brought back Priya Punia – playing her first ODI since March 2021 – to open alongside Smriti Mandhana.

Amanjot and Pooja Vastrakar were the only seamers in the XI that had as many as six spin bowling options including the part-timers Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, handed out an ODI cap to batter Shorna Akter. Seamer Marufa Akter, who impressed in the T20Is, also found a spot in the XI, while the returning Sharmin Akter was slotted to open the batting. Shamima Sultana, who starred in the final T20I with a steady 42, was left out of the XI.

The last time India played an ODI was at Lord’s in September 2022.
