India vs Western Australia XI, Warm-up Match 1: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details
India and Western Australia XI are set to lock horns in a warm-up game ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022. The match is scheduled to take place on Monday, October 10 at the W.A.C.A. in Perth.
India, captained by Rohit Sharma, have had an impressive run in T20Is this year. After winning bilateral series against South Africa and Australia, the Men in Blue are in pretty good shape.
After playing the warm-up, India will face defending champions Australia and last year's runner-up in two more practice matches before the Super 12.
Last year, India lost to Pakistan and New Zealand to start their campaign after which they failed to qualify for the semi-finals despite beating Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland by comprehensive margins.
India received a massive blow after Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the competition due to a back injury. India are yet to name Bumrah's replacement for the mega event on Australian soil.
