India to Take on Bangladesh in World Cup Warm-Up Match Today

Cardiff, May 28, 2019:

Ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2019 which begins on May 30, India skipper Virat Kohli's 'men in blue' will look to bounce back in their warm-up match against Bangladesh after losing their first warm-up match against New Zealand. Bangladesh's last practice match against Pakistan was washed out.

India's middle-order was tested in their first World Cup warm-up match against New Zealand as they were bundled out for 179. The Kiwis won that game by six wickets, thanks to top knocks from Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor.

For last couple of days, Cardiff has experienced some scattered rainfall. In fact, the previous match at this venue (Bangladesh vs Pakistan) was called off due to wet conditions.

During the toss, India skipper Virat Kohli said that the Indian team has got a hang of what they need to do well in the last game. They played a practice game after 2 days of arriving in England. He also informed that all-rounder Kedar Jadhav still won't be able to compete, but added the all-rounder Vijay Shankar is fine.

The World Cup gets underway on May 30. India will begin their World Cup campaign against South Africa on July 5 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.

UPDATE: Bangladesh wins the toss and elect to bowl in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 warm-up match against India.
