For India`s Mithali Raj, the match is the chance to build momentum as India go for a first World Cup title."I think as a team we are excited to get into the World Cup and starting our campaign tomorrow. It`s the first game, we are not looking at it as it`s Pakistan we are playing against, we`re looking at a team which has come prepared and we are equally prepared to put our best foot forward and we want to set a momentum going into the tournament, so that`s how we look at our first game," said Mithali, as reported by ICC.


"Every time we play a World Cup, every game is very different - different locations, different conditions, different opponent. We`ve tried to give everybody a go in the warm-up game, so that everybody gets into the rhythm, they form the core players - and for tomorrow`s game I think all of them have been watching the first opening game and everybody has their set plans," she added.


On the occasion of the big match, Star Sports launched a TV campaign through a song. The song is called Hamara Blue Bandhan. The song is aimed at motivating Indian fans to cheer for India women in the ongoing World Cup.
