New Delhi: India won the toss and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka in their fourth match of the ICC Women's World Cup in Derby, England.

India made one change to the side, bringing in Veda Krishnamurthy in place of Mona Meshram, while for Sri Lanka, Eshani Lokusuriyage and Harshitha Madavi made way for Prasadani Weerakkodi and Chandima Gunaratne.

India and Sri Lanka stand at the opposite ends of the league table. With three wins in as many matches, India look to confirm their spot in the semi final by beating a weak Sri Lankan outfit which has not managed to win a single match in the World Cup so far.

Teams:

India: Punam Raut, Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Mithali Raj(captain), Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy, Jhulan Goswami, Mansi Joshi, Ekta Bisht, Sushma Verma, Poonam Yadav.

Sri Lanka: Nipuni Hansika, Hasini Perera, Chamari Atapattu, Shashikala Siriwardene, Dilani Manodara(w), Prasadani Weerakkody, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Chandima Gunaratne, Ama Kanchana, Sripali Weerakkody, Inoka Ranaweera(c).
