India’s chase got off to a flying start as Ishan Kishan, the wicketkeeper-batter, showcased a remarkable strike rate of 250.00. Partnering briefly with Sanju Samson, who contributed 22 off 8 balls, Kishan’s aggressive approach set the tone early. Tilak Varma supported well with 19 not out off 11 deliveries, ensuring India maintained the momentum.
The team lost only one wicket, that of Sanju Samson, at 25 in 1.6 overs. Extras added a solitary run, showing the discipline of Namibia’s bowling.
India reached 50 runs in just 4.3 overs, with Kishan already nearing his half-century. His 50 came off just 20 balls, including five fours and four sixes, highlighting his dominance against Namibia’s bowlers. The partnership between Kishan and Tilak Varma for the second wicket added 50 runs in 22 balls, keeping the scoring rate above 14 runs per over.
Namibia struggled to contain the Indian batsmen in the ongoing Ind vs Nam T20 clash. Ben Shikongo picked up the only wicket, while Ruben Trumpelmann, JJ Smit, and Max Heingo went for plenty. India’s aggressive batting has already put Namibia on the back foot, leaving them with a huge task to chase.
