Jemimah in team

India have won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand in the World T20 opener in Providence, Guyana on Friday.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and recently-appointed coach Ramesh Powar insist that the team has learnt from that final loss and the presence of youngsters, including six World Cup debutants, makes the squad "fearless".

India have never won the World T20 in their previous five attempts with their best result, a semi-final appearance, coming in 2009 and 2010. This is the first standalone World T20 for women after being held alongside the men's event in the past editions.

IND XI: S Mandhana, T Bhatia, J Rodrigues, H Kaur, D Hemalatha, M Raj, D Sharma, V Krishnamurthy, R Yadav, A Reddy, P Yadav

NZ XI: S Bates, A Peterson, S Devine, A Satterthwaite, K Martin, M Green, L Kasperek, J Watkin, H Jensen, A Kerr, L Tahuhu
