    Hmmmm. A sign of things to come over the next two weeks? Australia win the flick and Meg Lanning chooses to chase. Harmanpreet Kaur says she wanted to bowl first too - a much bigger cheer for the India skipper...

    Yep, the Women's T20 World Cup begins today, kicking off 17 days of action that will eventually see the champions crowned on International Women's Day at the MCG, in what is hoped will be the biggest attendance for any women's sport event ever.
