Rain Washes Out Both of India's Warm-Up Matches

India's World Cup preparation suffered a setback as both of their warm-up matches were cancelled due to rain. The first match against England was scheduled to take place in Guwahati on October 1, but was called off without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain. The second match against the Netherlands was scheduled to take place in Thiruvananthapuram on October 3, but was also cancelled due to rain.

The cancellation of both warm-up matches is a major blow to India's World Cup preparation, as they were hoping to use the matches to fine-tune their game and get some match practice ahead of the tournament.

However, India are not the only team to have their World Cup preparation disrupted by rain. Several other teams, including England, the Netherlands, and Australia, have also had their warm-up matches cancelled or delayed due to rain.

The rain has been a major problem in India in recent weeks, and it is likely to continue to be a problem throughout the World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to take place from October 11 to November 12, and it is important for teams to get as much match practice as possible in order to be prepared for the tournament.

Despite the cancellation of both of their warm-up matches, India remain one of the favorites to win the World Cup. They have a strong team with a good mix of experience and youth. They will be hoping that the rain stays away during the tournament so that they can play their best cricket and challenge for the title.
