India's vice-captain Smriti Mandhana will "likely" miss the team's Women's T20 World Cup opener against rivals Pakistan, her coach said on Saturday.

"Smriti has got a finger injury, she is still recovering. Most likely, she won't play tomorrow," coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar told a press conference on the eve of Sunday's game in Cape Town.

He added that it was not a fracture.

"It's just a finger injury, she will be fine before the next game," he added.

In their second match, India are due to face West Indies on February 15.

Mandhana suffered the injury in India's warm-up game against Australia on Monday. She made a duck as India lost by 44 runs. She missed a second warm-up game against Bangladesh on Wednesday.
