The IND-W vs BAN-W match is set to have a delayed start as rain made an interruption just before the toss. Despite the result of the match against Bangladesh, India will finish fourth in the standings at the end of the league stage.

In order to provide some rest, India opted to make multiple changes in the lineup as Kranti Goud and Sneh Rana made way for Amanjot Kaur and Radha Yadav. Notably, Uma came into the side in the absence of Richa Ghosh, who continues to recover from her injury ahead of the all-important semifinal.

"We're going to bowl first. Because of the overcast conditions, we thought bowling would be a good decision. She's going to debut today (Uma Chetry). Richa is resting. Two more players are resting - Kranti and Sneh Rana," Harmanpreet said at the toss.

With an aim to finish at least above Pakistan in the points table, Bangladesh will be looking to put their best foot forward and get a huge boost through a win today heading forward. They stand last at the moment with just one win after six matches.

"Kind of good for us because our bowlers have been doing well. Have to give them a good total to defend. It was pretty difficult (getting over the SL defeat). Have to move on and play our A game. The way our bowlers have been bowling, and looking at the conditions, 230-plus can be a good total," Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana said at the toss.
