India Arsenal Look Strong Before World Cup
Meanwhile, the Indian team showed superb form with the bat in their warm-up match against South Africa, with Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma being explosive at the top.
Almost the entire batting lineup got a fair chance to unleash their shots against the South African bowlers as India piled up a massive total of 240 runs on the board. South Africa eventually fell short by 30 runs while chasing the mammoth target.
The match also appeared to seal the fate of Sanju Samson, who may struggle to find a place in the playing XI for the mega ICC event.
