The Team India contingent left Guwahati and reached Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday (October 1) for their second warm-up match ahead of the ICC 2023 ODI World Cup. Their first warm-up match against England in Guwahati was washed out without a single ball being bowled on Saturday due to persistent showers.

The Men in Blue will next face the Netherlands on Tuesday (October 3) at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Even though the practice match against England was abandoned, India's preparation for the World Cup is on the right track as they performed well in the Asia Cup and the subsequent three-match series against Australia over the past month.

The ICC took to its official Instagram handle on Sunday and gave fans an update about the Indian team's arrival in the Kerala capital for their next match. In the video, Team India players can be seen receiving a traditional welcome from the hotel staff in the city.
