Will warm up matches really help in World cup

Yes, these really helps the teams to fit to the circumstances and they can know their weaknesses before starting the big tournament so that they can overcome those. I think India definitely learnt something today by losing the match against Pakistan.

the win and loss in warm up match don't matter, but it always give options for captain to test his players. It is good that India have two warm up matches.. today India have lost to PAk, but still we can find out the problems and rectify. and i think, India should play harbhajan and ashwin both in the team. fast bowling will not work for us.

i really do not feel that India need to get acclimatised to the conditions. they were in Sri Lanka recent for a series so they they should be well aware of the conditions. It seems that pitches will be conducive to batting and India lacks good bowlers going by the performance of the bowlers in today's warm up match.

Warm matches really plays an important role. It really helps the team and the players to handle the situations and more over it helps the players to get an practice. Moreover such games really gives up an good confidence inside the team.
