Dubai [UAE], October 9 (ANI): India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka in the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Dubai on Wednesday.

"We gonna bat first, so far we haven't batted first so thought we will have a bat and put a decent total on the board. Feeling better (talking about her neck injury), if we play better cricket maybe I will feel more better. Asia Cup we played good cricket, one odd day (talking about the final where India lose to Sri Lanka) they played good cricket. We are going with the same eleven we played in the same game," said Harmanpreet after the toss.
