India have their bases covered in all departments. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma at the top will look to give India an explosive start with the bat. Jemimah Rodrigues will bat at No 3 and she was in very good form at the recently-held Women's T20 Trophy. Deepti Sharma can play the role of an anchor while Harmanpreet and Yastika Bhatia are there to do the powerhitting in the death overs. All eyes will be on how Titas Sadhu and Pooja Vastrakar do with the ball.
