Namibia vs USA T20 World Cup 2026: The Group A of the T20 World Cup 2026 is currently being dominated by favourites India and Pakistan but unlikely heroes USA have small prayer of reaching the Super 8 stages as well. After their massive win over the Netherlands in their last match, USA will be hoping that defending champions Team India can hammer Pakistan in their next match later of Sunday evening to keep a door open for them.
A win for Monank Patel’s USA will take them to 4 points – same as India and Pakistan before their matches and possibly even above Salman Ali Agha’s side if they can win with a big-enough margin on Sunday afternoon.
United States managed to push Team India to their limits, reducing them to 77 for 6 in their opening game in Mumbai but Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant 84 spoiled the party. But they didn’t let the opportunity slip up against the Netherlands on Thursday night.
“We are really disappointed that we couldn’t at least pull one game between India and Pakistan. But we know our strengths. We were actually, we went through some challenges in the last week, also, like lots of injuries. We had to manage that. We had one replacement but then even within the group we still have few injuries we try to manage whatever it is but the boys were very determined to get through this and what happened against India and what happened against Pakistan, we knew that we are a team that we can have the strength to pull these games. So we were hungry when we came to the third game. And I think we showed what we have,” USA head coach Pubudu Dassanayake said in Chennai.
Namibia, on the other hand, were also impressive in patches in their match against India in New Delhi on Thursday. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus bowled his ‘round-arm’ off-spinners brilliantly to claim 4/20 but his batters let him down in the contest.
The clash against the Americans will be their best chance to notch up a win in the T20 World Cup 2026. “We’ve prepared extremely well before the World Cup and we’ve had really good training sessions. It was good for us to get a good idea of the USA team now against Holland, played last night. Yeah, so, feeling good. I think that we’ve covered all our bases and the big thing for us will be the players to go and execute those plans out on the field,” Namibia head coach Craig Williams said.
Wicketkeeper and opener Andries Gous missed he last game for USA due to illness but if he is fit enough to play, he could come into the line-up in place of Shayan Jahangir.
