India-West Indies Warmup Match

Today India will be playing a warmup match with West Indies. This is their second warmup match after defeating Netherlands.

In other warmup matches Australia will be playing with England, Pakistan with South Africa and NewZealand with SriLanka. But the India-West Indies match is going to be the most interesting one. Because the hosting country will be playing it. The team has to create a strategy to play on medium pace wickets in West Indies. Such wickets are a test for both, batsman and bowlers.

In the first warmup match, Indian batsman played very well and we expect them to play the same in this second warmup match. India has lots of hope on Sehwag and hence he has to prove himself. Also Robin Utthapa and Dinesh Karthik have to prove their batting. The good thing for India is that Yuvraj is bowling very well these days and he is a good bowler to be used in the middle overs.

West Indies also expects Sarvan to play very well. Against Kenya Sarvan did not get a chance to show his talent. All other matches would also be interesting. Australia will get a chance to defeat England and take revenge of their loss. NewZealand will also try to Match the SriLankan team after their defeat against Bangladesh in their opening warmup match.
