THE CLASH OF THE ARCH-RIVALS

06:21 (IST) Mar 06

We wanted to bowl first, we now need to restrict them. We are going into the match with five bowlers. We have had a good warm-up, so we need to continue playing like that. I'm blessed to be back doing what I love, and getting some real support from the entire team.

We'll bat. It's a good wicket to bat. put up a big total and put pressure on them. We're going with three seamers and three spinners. We want to go into the tournament with a clean slate, take some momentum from the last game which we won against New Zealand. The hunger to do well in WCs has kept me going.

TOSS: India captain Mithali Raj wins toss, opts to bat against Pakistan at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

06:04 (IST) Mar 06

I think getting into the World Cup, it is important that all of us have to get in with a clean-slate. From the past series or the warm up games, all we can take is confidence, and how you negotiate the conditions in the middle, how you play according to the situation is just very important. So I'm sure that Shafali (Verma) being a very talented player she understands her own game and she will come good.

The 39-year-old Jhulan Goswami, making her fifth World Cup appearance, will again lead bowling unit, but the rest will have to back her as consistency has been a huge issue for India's pacers

05:57 (IST) Mar 06

On the bowling front, the Indian pace attack relies heavily on veteran Jhulan Goswami

05:55 (IST) Mar 06

The fulcrum of Indian power hitting will be the young and out-of-form Shafali Verma, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh and Pooja Vastrakar
