India vs Netherlands warm-up live update

Here we go again! It's pouring down and the covers are on, as the rain has started playing the 'cat & mouse' race, once again. There was a lot of criticism around the IND-AUS ODI series as to how it could lead to Indian players' physical fatigue. However, in hindsight, it looks like a vital series to happen, helping India in their preparation for the World Cup, especially with the first warm-up match, getting called off and the second on the verge of the same!
