India will continue preparing for the T20I series against England with the second of their two warm-up matches.
Gearing up for the T20I series against England, starting July 7, India are currently busy with a pair of warm-up matches versus English county sides. The visitors, led by Dinesh Karthik, clinched an easy victory in the first one on Friday (July 1) against Derbyshire and will now take on Northamptonshire.
The fixture will present the tourists a final opportunity to fine-tune their game before the difficult challenge of facing England in their own backyard.
The first T20 warm-up in Derby saw the pacers Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik gain some important overs under their belt, while top-order batters Deepak Hooda and Sanju Samson continued from where they left in Dublin against Ireland a few days back.
The Northants encounter will thus offer these players a chance to further sharpen up their skills and face the English in Southampton on July 7 feeling all that more confident of coming out triumphant.
Match: India vs Northants Steelbacks
When: Sunday, July 3, 7:00 PM IST, 2:30 BST
