India vs Netherlands HIGHLIGHTS, World Cup 2023 Warm-up: IND vs NED practice match called off due to rain

So both of India’s warm-up games have been called off without a ball being bowled. The game against England in Guwahati had met a similar fate. Not ideal for the Indian team ahead of its campaign opener against Australia in Chennai, which has also witnessed showers on and off. Fingers crossed for that game. That will be all from us for today. You can catch our live coverage of the other two warm-up matches underway at the moment and join us for the World Cup proper, which begins on October 5 with a game between 2019 finalists England and New Zealand.

Our reporter Shayan Acharya says heavy rains have returned in Thiruvananthapuram.

The rain has stopped. The super-soppers are out and about. Hopefully, we will have a start in some time.

While we wait, here’s a look at the other matches in action

The Toss is delayed due to rain. The waiting game continues in Thiruvananthapuram.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, lies the serene St. Xavier’s College ground. Located in Thumba - about 20 kilometres from the city centre - the ground is surrounded by the iconic college building, churches and a cemetery.

A huge painting of Sanju Samson - the local boy and a college alumnus - on one of the walls is hard to miss, and as one walks around the ground, the chirping sounds of the birds make it a soothing experience.

And, on this backdrop, the Indian cricket team had a long training session on Monday, ahead of its ODI World Cup warm-up fixture against The Netherlands. Though it was an optional session, most members of the squad - except captain Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Shreyas Iyer - sweated it out in the nets for a couple of hours, playing against local spinners.

Five days to go for India’s World Cup opener against Australia. Here’s a guide of the hallowed M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai where the fierce rivals will square off on October 8.
