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.
