By IANS News October 18, 2025 • 14:54 PM View: 481

World Cup: New Zealand have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Pakistan in the Women's World Cup match at R. Premadasa Stadium here on Saturday.

New Zealand made just one change in their playing 11 with Lea Tahuhu coming in for Bree Illing.

"We're going to bowl first today. I think we saw that they pitched it a little up in the England vs Pakistan game. So we're going to have a first crack at that, and especially with the weather that's been around in Colombo probably the last week or so, I think knowing what to chase is sometimes of benefit. Just got to focus on this game," New Zealand captain Sophie Devine said at the toss
