XtraTime Web Desk: India lost their first warm-up game ahead of World Cup by 6 wickets against New Zealand at the Oval. Though it was a warm-up game but Virat Kohli & his teammates need to do rectify a lot of things before they face Bangladesh in the second and last warm-up game on May 28 ahead of the main event. Here are the key reasons why the Men in Blue lost the game:
#After winning the toss Kohli chose to bat on a overcast condition
#India’s top order failed miserably on a tough surface to bat in the first hour of play
#With his sheer pace & swing Trent Boult took 4 wickets
#In reply NZ won the game at an ease thanks to skipper Williamson & Taylor
#Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav both failed to bowl well on a bowling friendly win
