Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis won the toss and opted to bat in the first Women’s ODI against India here on Friday.
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.
The two teams are meeting each other after eight years. India last faced Ireland in a quadrangular series in South Africa in May 2017.
India have won 12 of the 13 previous ODIs outing against their rivals.
