IND vs NAM Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Match 18

India will face Namibia in Match 18 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Thursday, February 12, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, which is among the oldest cricket stadiums in India. India are the clear favourites for this match after starting their campaign with a win against the USA. The spotlight, however, remains on the fitness of left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma, who is hospitalised due to illness and remains doubtful, potentially forcing India to change their opening combination.

Namibia, on the other hand, will be looking to provide an upset to India and bounce back after losing their last game against the Netherlands. Led by Gerhard Erasmus, Namibia will find it really difficult to match the level of excellence of this Indian team, as the Men in Blue are among the best T20 teams. Both these teams have played just one T20 fixture previously, and India won that match convincingly by 9 wickets and are ahead in the IND vs NAM H2H record.

Indian top-order batters, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma, are the ideal candidates for captaincy as per our IND vs NAM Dream11 team prediction. Both these players bat in the top order and will have the maximum opportunity to score against Namibia.
