NEW DELHI: India convincingly defeated England in a high-scoring chase in their first T20 World Cup warm-up game on Monday. While the batsmen effortlessly pulled off a daunting 189 run chase and made Virat Kohli a relieved skipper on the batting front, there were a few bowling concerns for India in the England warm-up game.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya did not bowl and Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked completely off-color. Leggie Rahul Chahar too went for quite a few runs. The Kohli-Ravi Shastri-MS Dhoni trio will look to address these issues in India's second warm-up match that will be played today against Australia in Dubai.
While Rohit Sharma is expected to play the second and final warm-up match against the Aussies, India would also like to give Varun Chakravarthy some game time before unleashing him against arch-rivals Pakistan on 24th October.
The warm-up game against the Aussies will be the final chance for Team India to get a clear picture of their final playing XI before they begin their Super 12 campaign.
