Australia have lost the toss and will field against India in the Women's Cricket World Cup semi-final at Derby.

The match has been reduced to 42 overs a side after rain delayed the start by over three hours with the winners to face England in Sunday's final at Lord's.

Skipper Meg Lanning returns after sitting out last Saturday's last group match against South Africa due to a long-standing shoulder injury.

India are unchanged from the side that beat New Zealand in their final group game.

Australia: Beth Mooney, Nicole Bolton, Meg Lanning (capt), Ellyse Perry, Elyse Vilani, Alex Blackwell, Alyssa Healy (wkt), Ash Gardner, Jess Jonassen, Megan Schutt, Kristen Beams.

India: Smriti Mandhana, Poonam Raut, Mithali Raj (capt), Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Veda Krishnamurthy, Sushma Verma (wkt), Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav.
