In Match 18 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, India will be up against Namibia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The best T20 team in the world, India, began its campaign on a positive note with a 29-run win over the USA. The highlight of that match was an excellent knock from Suryakumar Yadav, who took charge of the Indian batting lineup with 84 runs off 49 deliveries.

Namibia, meanwhile, are searching for their first win after suffering a seven-wicket defeat against the Netherlands in its previous outing. There were encouraging signs with the bat, as Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton and Jan Frylinck chipped in with fighting knocks of 42 and 30 runs. Their bowlers had a limited impact and could claim just three wickets. As per our IND vs NAM prediction, India is the obvious favourite to win this clash, although Namibia will look to put their best foot forward and try to fight against the mighty home side.

India vs Namibia Team Analysis (Strength & Weakness)

Teams	Strengths	Weaknesses
India	Deep batting lineup with explosive top-order options, along with a world-class bowling attack	As such, there is no major weakness, but occasionally they might lose a bunch of wickets in quick succession because of their aggressive intent.
Namibia	Decent bowling lineup with variety and multiple all-round options	Namibia relies heavily on a few key players for runs, with a lack of proven finishers. The bowling unit lacks raw speed and may be less effective against India.

IND vs NAM Players To Watch Out for

From India’s perspective, much of the spotlight will be on Suryakumar Yadav, who is one of the best T20 batsmen in the world. Supporting him in the top order, Tilak Varma has emerged as another crucial player who can absorb pressure during tricky phases before shifting gears. With the ball, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy are expected to be the standouts and lead the bowling lineup.

For Namibia, Jan Frylinck stands out as a potential game-changer, with aggressive batting at the top and backing it up with his medium pace bowling. At the centre of the batting unit is skipper Gerhard Erasmus, who can anchor the innings while also chipping in with useful off-spin when required.

India head into the 18th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 against Namibia as clear favourites, with the difference in quality between the two sides clearly evident. India’s squad is filled with proven T20 match-winners across all phases of the game. While Namibia have shown a positive attitude, they lack the consistency, experience, and overall balance required to challenge a top-tier side like India over 20 overs. As per the IND vs NAM score prediction, if India bats first, a total exceeding 200 will be on the cards, while Namibia might end up scoring close to 130-140.
