Throw it India chose to bat vs Nepal

Regular skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and allrounder Pooja Vastrakar have been rested as India give spin-bowling allrounder S Sajana and bowler Arundhati Reddy a chance. India have won both their previous matches in the tournament and are through to the semi-finals. Mandhana said the team is looking to send a number of more than 180.

With one win and one loss each, Nepal needed more wins to hope to finish in the top two of Group A. Earlier in the day, Pakistan beat the UAE to move four points behind India and potentially advance to the knockouts.
