I&#39;m pretty confident about my batting group. Our main focus is to play positive cricket. 120 is a good score on this wicket. We&#39;ll try to score that,&quot; said Chamari after winning the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India have gone with the same team that featured against New Zealand in their last game whereas Sri Lanka have made one change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a good opportunity to chase. It&#39;s good for us. We are sticking with the same players that played in the last match. We are doing quite well and we don&#39;t want to try anything else. We are winning, we need to keep doing the right things,&quot; said India captain Harmanpreet Kaur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Playing XIs<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Taniya Bhatia(w), Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Deepti Sharma, Veda Krishnamurthy, Shikha Pandey, Radha Yadav, Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka: Chamari Athapaththu(c), Umesha Thimashini, Hasini Perera, Hansima Karunaratne, Shashikala Siriwardene(w), Harshitha Madavi, Anushka Sanjeewani, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Sathya Sandeepani, Udeshika Prabodhani<\/p>\r\n",
