ODI World Cup 2023: Are warm-up matches important and required?

Eng vs Ban Warm up match

One final practice match for these two teams before the big game. There's been a lot of chaos surrounding Bangladesh cricket but they managed to win the warm-up game against Sri Lanka even though they were without Shakib Al Hasan. England's warm-up fixture against India was washed out without a ball being bowled. Both the matches were hosted by Guwahati. The sun is out!

New Zealand vs South Africa, 7th warm-up game

The news is that Kane Williamson is going to lead New Zealand today. As for the weather, there's no rain at the moment in Thiruvananthapuram, and let's hope it stays that way. Already, a large part of the warm-up rounds have been marred by rain. Weather permitting, we have a cracking contest on our hands between two of the most fancied teams in this tournament.
