In a lop-sided warm-up match ahead of the Cricket World Cup in Channai, India registered a crushing 117-run victory over New Zealand. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni led a solid batting display and smashed a 64-ball 108 not out. Opener Gautam Gambhir also contributed a classy 89 as India scored an imposing 360 for five after electing to bat . The hosts then shot out New Zealand for 243 in 43.1 overs to notch up their second World Cup warm-up victory on the trot. Team India will take on Bangladesh on Saturday.
