DY Patil Sports Academy: South Africa's captain Laura Wolvaardt won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in the final of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup at the DY Patil Sports Academy here on Sunday.

The toss was conducted a good two hours after its originally scheduled time, as the start of the match was delayed by rain that lashed the stadium since the afternoon. No overs have been lost.

Both teams decided to go into the final with unchanged playing XIs from their respective semifinals.
