India vs Namibia T20 WC Match: As the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 progresses, India will face Namibia (IND vs NAM) in Match No. 18 of the 20-team tournament at the historic Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday, February 18th.
India got off to a flying start, securing their first win of the tournament in a Group A match against the United States of America in Mumbai. Despite initial difficulties, the Indian team managed to recover from defeat and now sits comfortably atop the points table in this 20-team tournament.
On the other hand, Namibia failed to put up a fight against the Netherlands in their campaign opener. However, Gerhard Erasmus's team is well-adapted to the conditions in New Delhi, having already played a match there. To defeat the Indian team, the Namibians will need to play with all their heart and give their all on the field.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report: Dew could play a significant role in the upcoming match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The damp outfield is one reason why chasing teams have won three of the last five matches played at this venue. Spinners typically dominate the first half of the match, but during the defensive half, fast bowlers play a crucial role in stemming the flow of runs.
