Security forces said they pursued the two bombers before they blew themselves up in the busy open-air market situated in Tayaran Square, in the first suicide attack to target Baghdad in almost two years.
The last suicide attack took place in the same square in January 2018, killing 35 people.
The first bomber reportedly entered the marketplace and lured innocent bystanders to his aid by pretending to be sick and attracting a crowd, before detonating his explosive belt, according to an interior ministry statement.
"One came, fell to the ground and started complaining 'my stomach is hurting' and he pressed the detonator in his hand. It exploded immediately," one stall holder told Reuters news agency.
