Women’s T20 WC: Prema Handed Debut, Arundhati Included As India Elect To Bat Against SA
T20 World Cup Group: India have handed a debut to leg‑spin bowling all-rounder Prema Rawat and included seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa in their Women’s T20 World Cup Group A clash at Old Trafford on Sunday.
A win here for either second-placed India or fourth-ranked South Africa would give them a huge boost in terms of entering the semifinals. It’s also the first time both teams are meeting in a Women’s T20 World Cup game, with the game set to be played on a fresh wicket.
After winning the toss, Harmanpreet, who’s also become the first player to clock 200 T20I appearances and is also marking her 200th game as the Indian captain across all formats, said Prema comes in for Shreyanka Patil, who’s ruled out after suffering a right ankle injury in the 95-run win over Netherlands at Headingley, while Arundhati replaces a rested Kranti Gaud.
