After a short while from now India vs Namibia match is going to be played in Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. This is the second match for India in this world cup. In the 1st match India had defeated USA convinsingly after a first innings batting collapse.
Judging by their record, it seems unlikely that a team like Namibia will be able to compete with India from any angle. However, cricket is a game of uncertainty, and miracles can happen at any time.
The two teams have faced each other just once in a T20I match, which took place during the 2021 T20 World Cup. In that game, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin both took three wickets, restricting Namibia to 132/8. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul followed up with half-centuries, leading India to a comfortable nine-wicket victory with 28 balls to spare.
The pitch at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium favors spin bowlers. Keeping this in mind, India may include Kuldeep Yadav in their playing eleven as an extra spin bowler.
The match that India will play today against Namibia will be India’s 270th T20 International match and 2nd in this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026
