Harmanpreet Kaur-led India Women won the toss and decided to field first in the second T20I of the five-match series against Sri Lankan Women at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday.

India's star allrounder Deepti Sharma will not be available for this clash due to a mild fever. Sneh Rana replaces her.

"I'm confident about my team. Gotta play confidently, that's the most important thing. Last game, we played behind the wicket. We have to play straight and to our strength.

India are leading the series 1-0.
