India will continue to maintain its winning streak after stunning hosts and defending champions Australia by 17 runs in the tournament opener played at Sydney. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will open its campaign against the sub continent neighbors and title contenders.
India and Bangladesh are currently placed with defending champions Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand in Group A. Australia which lost their opening encounter against India came back strongly to beat Sri Lanka in their second group engagement.
Toss Update: Bangladesh skipper Salma Khatun won the toss and decided to field first against India at the Western Australian Cricket Ground At Perth. I'd like to field first.
I liked the fact that we won the warm-ups and that will give us a lot of confidence in the main matches. In the Asia Cup we won against India, so we'll give our best against India. We'll put our best foot forward
Harmanpreet Kaur | India captain: We wanted to bat, and get a decent total on the board, so we are happy.
