One of the favorites of the World Cup, India, lost their first warm-up match against New Zealand who won in a very dominating fashion. India, who continue to rely on their top-order couldn’t get going, losing their first two wickets in the first two overs. Their top 3 only got 22 runs and at the end of their innings, India only managed 179 all out all thanks to Trent Boult’s unwavering run.
New Zealand successfully chased the target of 180 with 77 balls to spare, demonstrating how shaken the Indian side, in which all players have just returned from playing in the IPL. The stellar 100+ run partnership between Williamson and Ross Taylor easily steered the Blackcaps to the victory in just 37.1 overs.
While Ravindra Jadeja stated that there was “nothing to worry”, India will be worried and should look to get back to their winning ways against Bangladesh in their second warm-up on 28th May. Bangladesh was supposed to face Pakistan on 26th but due to bad weather, the match was called off without a ball bowled.
