India suffered a defeat against Kiwis after being bowled out for under 200. The batsmen failed to live up to the expectations and ahead of the World Cup such performance would have done no good to team’s confidence. The Virat Kohli-led India will now be eyeing to bounce back and secure a win before heading to the tournament proper.
Bangladesh will be seeking a good performance as well and a game against the quality side like India ahead of the World Cup will help them prepare well for the big upcoming matches.
For both the teams, it will be batting that will be under the observation. India’s below-par performance against the Blackcaps would have sent alarm bells ringing in the Indian camp. The side will be hoping to adapt to the conditions as soon as possible and be prepared for the mega tournament.
