"The constant chopping and changing of the Indian team is the main reason for our failures. Even in the ODI WC, injuries were what forced the team into the perfect combination. To me, the ideal XI would have been Jemi at 3, Harman 4, Richa at 5 and Bharti at 6. Yastika should be back up for Jemi. They shouldn't be playing together in the XI. "

India: Radha Yadav has been prolific against Bangladesh, but she hasn't got her chances as yet in the XI in this World Cup. With Shafali Verma proving a reliable sixth bowling option, India might be tempted to bring Radha back into the XI. Meanwhile, Jemimah Rodrigues, who had a long session against India's pace quartet, could potentially be pushed back to No 3.

Probable XI: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, Yastika Bhatia/Bharti Fulmali, Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Shree Charani, Nandni Sharma

Bangladesh: On what's expected to be a relatively slow surface, they will look to continue with their winning combination

Probable XI: Dilara Akter, Juairiya Ferdous, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana, Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Shanjida Akter, Marufa Akter

IND need 137 to win.
