India vs Namibia Live Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Axar Patel adds to spin squeeze after Chakravarthy strikes thrice; Namibia seven down
A few key numbers frame the context heading into this contest.
Since the last T20 World Cup in 2024, Varun Chakaravarthy has taken 58 wickets in 31 matches, the highest tally in the format during this period. Jasprit Bumrah, meanwhile, remains one of only six bowlers to have claimed 100 wickets in each of the three men’s international formats.
Namibia’s figures also warrant attention. Since the 2024 T20 World Cup, they have maintained a PowerPlay economy rate of 6.91. Among the 20 participating teams in this tournament, only Nepal, at 6.65, have kept it below seven in that phase. Captain Gerhard Erasmus anchors their experience: he is Namibia’s most capped T20I player with 78 appearances and the leading run-scorer in the format for his country with 1,851 runs.
