The Men in Blue are back in action at the same venue in 2 days as they take on New Zealand in their second warm-up game. Thank you for staying with us during the live coverage of the game!
“I thought we batted well, towards the end we could have added 10-15 runs more. It was a great practice game for us. There is room for improvement, but I want more consistency from the bowlers. Overall a good game for us, they had a decent partnership and that put us under pressure. He (Shami) is coming back after a long time, so we wanted to give him an over. Wanted to give him a challenge and let him bowl the final over, and you saw what he did.”
Fans go crazy over Shami’s last over heroics! Here are some of the best reactions on the game!

India on the other hand played 2 warm-up games against Western Australia in 2 un official matches. While the Men in Blue won the first game, they were handed a 36 run defeat in their latest outing. Given the form of both the teams, We expect India to emerge victorious in the AUS vs IND clash.
