toss barbados chose to bowl vs. India
Hayley Matthews correctly stated that Barbados chose to bowl first against India in the knockout game at the CWG 2022. The winners of this Group A clash will join Australia, England and New Zealand in the semi-finals.
India made two changes, with Pooja Vastrakar and Tania Bhatia coming in for their first games of the competition. This meant different times for S Meghna and Yastika Bhatia.
Vastrakar, who arrived in Birmingham after recovering from Covid-19 only two days ago, offers an easy seam option and some lower-order firepower with the bat, giving the side better balance. Meanwhile, with the addition of Tania, the team management has put off the idea of having a temporary wicketkeeper for the time being.
Barbados brought in 21-year-old off-spinner Shaunt Carrington in place of legspinner Keila Elliott, which has seven members who have played for the West Indies.
