Defending champions Australia Women will begin their title defence against New Zealand Women in Indore on Wednesday at 3 pm IST.
The Sophie Devine-led New Zealand are the current T20 world champions, and will be hoping for another title within a year. Their last ODI World Cup triumph was in 2000.
Australia received a big blow with Grace Harris being ruled out of the World Cup with a calf strain. On the positive side, Sophie Molineux and leg-spinner Georgia Wareham are back from injuries, joining Alana King in a dangerous spin attack.
Their pace stocks are rich with Megan Schutt, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, and Darcie Brown all pushing for selection.
In the batting department, Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, and Phoebe Litchfield make for a powerful lineup.
The seven-time champions will want to make use of familiar conditions, after having played an ODI series against India just before the big tournament.
New Zealand, however, cannot be taken lightly. They combine the experience of Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, and Lea Tahuhu with the promise of youngsters like Georgia Plimmer and Izzy Gaze.
After rigorous training camps in Chennai and Abu Dhabi, New Zealand will seek another upset, recalling their T20 triumph last year.
