India's women's cricket team is focusing on fine-tuning their strategies ahead of the knockout stages of the Women's World Cup. In their latest match against Bangladesh, captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and chose to field first due to overcast weather conditions, which were influenced by rain delays that postponed the start of the game by over 30 minutes. During the delay, Uma Chetry received her maiden ODI cap from vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, marking her debut, while Richa Ghosh was rested. India fielded a strong playing XI including Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Jemimah Rodrigues. Bangladesh's captain Nigar Sultana expressed confidence in her team's bowling attack and aimed to set a competitive total, with hopes that over 230 runs could be a good score to defend. The match is part of India's preparations to improve and adjust their game plan before the upcoming knockout matches, with the team aiming to build self-belief after three previous losses.
