Team India will play warm-up match against Bangladesh or UAE
Reports are claiming that just before the start of the Champions Trophy, the Indian team will strengthen its preparations by playing a practice match on UAE soil. It is being said that India may face Bangladesh or UAE in the warm-up match. But the date has not been decided yet.

From India's point of view, who is better to fight?
Now if Team India faces UAE, then from one perspective it will not be good for Team India. Because UAE is not a part of the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, if India practices against a team that is not even playing the tournament, then it will not get any benefit from it. In such a situation, if India faces Bangladesh in the warm-up match, it will be better, because in the Champions Trophy also these two teams will play their first match against each other.
India-Bangladesh will clash on February 20
It is not yet decided which team Team India will face in the warm-up match and neither has the date of this match been decided. However, India will start its campaign in the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh. Both the teams will face each other on 20 February at the Dubai Stadium. Before this, the tournament will start on 19 February. While the final match will be played on 9 March.
