India, meanwhile, had a mixed result from the warm-up games. The favourites suffered a crushing six-wicket defeat at the hands of New Zealand. However, the two-time winners bounced back in style by thrashing Bangladesh by 95 runs in their second warm-up game last week. KL Rahul and MS Dhoni both scored a century as they played a knock of 108 and 113 runs respectively to help India post 359 for 7. The bowlers then bowled out Bangladesh for just 264.
