In their second and final warm-up match in Cardiff on Tuesday (May 28), India finished their prep for ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 with an impressive 95-run victory over Bangladesh
KL Rahul at No. 4 hit a hundred (108 off 99 balls) and MS Dhoni's great form reminded everyone of his prowess yet again.
After early dismissals, K L Rahul came to the team's rescue while Dhoni's free-spirited approach got him a century as well (113 off 78 balls).
Their 164-run partnership for the 5th wicket powered India to 359/7.
Bowlers Kuldeep Yadav (3/47 in 10 overs) and Yuzvendra Chahal (3/55 in 10 overs) seem to be going into the tournament with much confidence.
Some of the congratulatory tweets read:
Rahul showing his class , looked so much at ease in a fine century. And Dhoni showing what he is made of, smashing hundred. The middle order in form at the right time for India. #BANvIND

So many questions answered by this @klrahul11 century! Must be a great feeling to enter the tournament with with a ton behind you🏏#BANvIND #CWC19Warmup

Is there still any argument about whether K L Rahul will get the start at No 4????? #ICCCWC2019

78 ball 113. Strike Rate 144. Dhoni has announced his arrival in England. At the same venue where Team India, under his captaincy, started the victorious #CT13 campaign. Good signs. ☺️🤗 #CWC19

MS Dhoni's fastest centuries in Indian colours have come in the warm-up games ahead of the World Cup.

62 balls vs NZ, 2011 CWC (Warm-up)
73 balls vs BAN, 2019 CWC (Warm-up)#ICCWC2019 #INDvBAN
KL Rahul is definitely not my favourite player for that position but he has showed the hunger desire and willingness to fight which is a great sign for Team India #INDvBAN

Dream warm up game for India...found their no 4 and spinners got some of their confidence back. #ICCWC2019
— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) May 28, 2019
Very pleasing to see @klrahul11 showing his class at #4 for @BCCI
— Mike Hesson (@CoachHesson) May 28, 2019
Think India's top 6 is now nailed down for @cricketworldcup ?#INDvBAN #WARMUP2019
Rahul will definitely be number four. The hole in India's batting has been filled. #IndvsBan #CWC19

India were 88/3 after 20 overs.

Finished with 359/7 after 50 overs.
Tells you why they back their game the way they do. The challenge is to get that acceleration 271/4 in 30 overs vs better bowling sides. #CWC19 #EkCupAur
