India recently won the Asia Cup 2023 and a three-match ODI series at home against Australia by 2-1. However, in the last match against the Aussies, they suffered a defeat of 66 runs and also identified some loopholes in their side, such as the middle order's failure to chase the target after a good start from the top order. 

On the other hand, England won a four-ODI series against New Zealand by 3-1 just 15 days ago. The biggest concern for the English team would be the form of Joe Root, who struggled throughout that series and will be looking to overcome his mistakes in the upcoming warm-up fixture

India vs England: Predictions for warm-up match

As the warm-up matches allow teams to involve their whole squad of 15 members to participate in the entire game, both teams would love to give a chance to all players so that they can get match practice and experience of playing against a top-quality side.

It is tough to predict the ultimate winner for that game, as both teams would not unleash their A-game and will focus more on testing their bench strength. That being said, India will be much more familiar with the ground conditions and will obviously enjoy an edge over England on this front.
