India played the same two teams(NZ and Bangladesh) in the Champions Trophy Warmups. 

India would have preferred playing at Southampton or Manchester instead of Cardiff. India play no matches at Cardiff in the main event.

I would have preferred if Ind played different teams as well but would not lose sleep over that though

Warm-ups will wrap up tomorrow with BD vs Ind and NZ vs WI. The venues are Cardiff and Bristol where the games were eventually abandoned. I hope that the weather stays good tomorrow.

So far, Aus-Eng and Afg-Pak were good/competitive games. The teams got something (positives, learning opportunities, etc.) out of those games

I'm just relieved that India won't play any games at those venues in the main event.

Ind's TM is Shastri, Kohli, Rohit (VC) and Dhoni (Senior), which is relatively conservative and banks on experienced players. Which could mean an opportunity for guys like Jadhav, DK, and Jadeja to eventually make it to the 11

Positives from today's games

 

• For Ind, KL has been able to seal the #4 spot. Now it is up to him to make the best use of the opportunity 
• WI batsmen clicked to put a 400+ total  
• NZ and BD had forgettable outing but there were learning opportunities for them 
• BD played the game too casually though
