India vs PM’s XI Live Score: Day 1 was a washout at Manuka Oval as constant rain prevented any play. The expected warm-up match between India and the Prime Minister’s XI saw no action. Despite the scheduled inspections, conditions didn’t improve. The Indian team remained in good spirits, with the Australian PM visiting for photos.
As due to rain, there was no action, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli didn’t waste any time and went for practice immediately. Let’s ray for a sunny Day 2 at Manuka Oval, where India will face the Prime Minister’s (PM) XI in a pink ball warm-up game. This practice game is crucial for Team India, who last played a day-night Test in March 2022 against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru.
Important fixture for India
The practice game holds extra importance as the pink ball played a significant role in India’s struggles during their previous tour of Australia in 2020-21. In Adelaide, the Indian batting lineup was infamously dismissed for just 36 runs, with Josh Hazlewood wreaking havoc.
Determined to avoid a repeat of such a debacle, the team is focused on preparing for one of the most challenging matches of the series. India’s opponents, the Prime Minister’s XI, include a mix of seasoned Australian players and emerging talents. Scott Boland, who tormented India during the World Test Championship (WTC) final by claiming five wickets, including key dismissals of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, will lead their pace attack.
