Right! India head into the World Cup without any practice matches under their belt. They have played enough white-ball Cricket in the recent past, so there won't be any complaints for Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, heading into a high-octane clash against Australia on Sunday.
This is the final day for the warm-up games before the much-awaited World Cup action finally begins in Ahmedabad on Thursday. England and New Zealand will battle it out and most importantly, the weather looks better throughout the day. Now, it's time to end the coverage here, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Pradeep signing off. Ciao
