Allan Border Field: India have won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in the second ODI at the Bellerive Oval on Friday. The multi-format scoreline is currently tied at 4-4 after Australia won the first ODI at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane.

India have opted to rest Shafali Verma and Renuka Singh Thakur, with Amanjot Kaur included and left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma handed her ODI debut in a bid to bolster their bowling stocks.

For India, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who won her fifth straight toss in ODIs is fit to take the field after sitting out for India's entire fielding innings in Brisbane due to a left knee issue. "I'm fine now, my left knee...while playing I just got a niggle," she said.
