India needs to right their ship fast or their World Cup experience could be over before it starts.
A week after their insipid slate of performances in January's Carlton Tri Series, tournament the Men in Blue once again came out flat in their first World Cup warm-up match, falling to the Aussies by an embarrassing 106 runs. Team captain Virat Kohli needs to impose some leadership on a flailing roster right now.
Afghanistan has had a few weeks off since their last international appearance -- they lost to Ireland in a Triangular series of their own, in Dubai, last month. This is the first time in history they've qualified for the World Cup, so expect them to play with the kind of free flowing, nothing-to-lose energy indicative of an upstart squad.
