Guwahati (Assam): India takes on defending champions England in their first warm-up game here ahead of the Cricket World Cup, which begins on October 5.
The warm-up game will help India determine their playing combination while England would like to test how their spin trio of Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali, and Liam Livingstone will perform in the practice fixture.
India is in stupendous form with their recent victories while England is coming into the contest on the back of a series win against New Zealand and Ireland.
For Men in Blue, the performance of the bowlers might play a role in determining the team's combination. England will hope for a stellar performance from Adil Rashid so that he can take the momentum into the Saturday warm-up game as well.
