Birmingham : Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik smashed a century each as India warmed up their Champions Trophy campaign with a five-wicket thumping win over Sri Lanka in their first practice game here on Saturday.

While chasing the mammoth target of 334 runs, Virat Kohli(144)and Dinesh Karthik(106) played the key role in the Indian run-chase. The men in blue lost their first wicket at just five runs after Shikhar Dhawan was run-out by Shaminda Eranga. But, the Indians looked in a bit of trouble after losing four wickets for 110 runs.

Sri Lankan young left-hander Kusal Perera and seasoned Tillekaratne Dilshan took the Indian bowling attack to the cleaners as Sri Lanka posted a mammoth 333 for three. Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews used nine bowlers in the 15-a-side warm-up game and all of them were punished by Kohli and Karthik.

India play their second warm-up game against Australia on June 4 in Cardiff before opening their campaign in the main tournament against South Africa at the same venue two days later.
