South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt says she was planning to bowl first anyway. Two changes for both sides. Fargana Hoque and Ritu Moni come in for Bangladesh, while South Africa are without Sune Luus, who misses out as a precaution because of a hip flexor strain. Annerie Dercksen and Masabata Klass come in for them.

Australia have won the crucial toss in Vizag and have opted to bowl first.

Eight teams will compete in a round-robin format, with the top four progressing to the semi-finals.
