T20 World Cup Warm-up, Feb 5: Day 4 of the warm-up phase finally delivers a complete slate of action, with all four scheduled games set to get underway across Colombo, Chennai and Navi Mumbai. After rain-spoiled Pakistan vs Ireland on Wednesday, fans hope that they finally get four matches today.
Zimbabwe have already got runs on the board against Oman in Colombo, while Nepal vs Canada offers Associate sides a valuable chance to assess conditions in India. Later in the day, Australia begin their final fine-tuning against the Netherlands at the R Premadasa Stadium, before New Zealand close out the night against the USA under lights at DY Patil. Both Australia and New Zealand enter the T20 World Cup on the back of horrible T20I series loss. Hence, this warmup game would be crucial for them.
