Preview

Warming-up? There are no warm-ups when the professionals meet, in every field. But as a ritual, two-time champions India will play two such practice matches before their World Cup opener against South Africa on June 5. First against New Zealand, then against Bangladesh on Tuesday (May 28).

Indian players, turning up for different franchises, have had arduous outings in the Indian Premier League, and they just got to mingle as a team on the field on the eve of the first warm-up. There shouldn't be any gelling issue, though.

Having said that, India are not without their concerns. During Friday's training session, a 'multi-dimensional' Vijay Shankar failed to fend off a Khaleel Ahmed delivery, and was hit in the forearm. He had to leave for medical care. Then, there's also uncertainty surrounding the availability of Kedar Jadhav, who picked up an injury during the IPL campaign.

India are also fretting over the number four batting position. Don't be surprised if either MS Dhoni or KL Rahul bat in that position today.

So, Virat Kohli and the team think tank will hope to utilise the warm-up game for tuning up ahead of the tournament proper, where they are billed as one the favourites.

Kiwis have their own worries. Wicket-keeper Tom Latham is all set to miss their warm-ups after picking up an injury to his finger during a match against an Australia XI.

Despite these issues, both the sides are expected to turn up with their respective best XIs. The fight will be between the well-rounded pace attacks, and top class batsmen. The two captains, Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson, are a joy to watch when in full flow. Then there brilliant batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Ross Taylor and not to forget one an only MS Dhoni.

Up against them are the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, the best in the business at present, Trent Boult, Mohammed Shami, Tim Southee, etc. These are some of the most lethal bowlers.

The fixture will also feature top-class all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Colin de Grandhomme, and crafty spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi and Ravindra Jadeja.

All of them may not play, but still, it will be an engrossing encounter.

By the way, New Zealand lost the ODI series to India at home.

It will be more than a warming-up. And according to the ICC, match tickets have already been sold out.
