India vs Namibia T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav’s Team India will look for a much-improved display in their second Group A clash against Namibia at the Arun Jaitley in New Delhi on Thursday. It will be the final opportunity for the defending champions to iron out the chinks in the side before they face off against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday.
Indians were reduced to 77 for 6 in their opening match against the USA last week before Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant 84 not out got them out of the hole. Indian batter Tilak Varma said the reason for the collapse was that they had failed to judge the conditions properly.
“Especially with these newer teams, you can’t take anyone lightly. You saw that in the last match. It wasn’t that we took them lightly, but we didn’t read the conditions properly. After that, Surya bhai came in and played a great innings, which helped the team a lot,” Tilak Varma said in the pre-match press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday.
“At the same time, we should always back our basics and play our best game. Whatever the field or situation, you have to read it ball by ball. T20 cricket is a very short format—anything can happen, and any team can beat anyone. So it’s important to bring your A-game in every match,” he added.
Namibia, on the other hand, faltered badly in their opening game against the Netherlands at the same venue a couple of days back. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus would hope that their batters can build on their starts and post a challenging total against India, who have now won nine consecutive matches in the T20 World Cup dating back to 2024.
“I think it’s going to be a hell of a thing for a lot of our young boys, especially guys who don’t play on such big stadiums in front of so many fans that often. I think it is something to get used to and it’s going to be a very cool experience for them playing under lights and in front of I guess 40, 000 noisy fans. It’s going to be really cool,” Erasmus said in New Delhi on Wednesday.
No stone left unturned!
