Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis won the toss and opted to bat in the first Women’s ODI against India on Friday, January 10, 2025.

India handed ODI debut to all-rounder Sayali Satghare, a right-arm pace bowler who also bats lower down the order.

The hosts have rested regular captain Harmanpreet Kaur and pacer Renuka Thakur for the three-match series with senior opening batter Smriti Mandhana leading the side.
