India enter as overwhelming favorites after Suryakumar Yadav’s heroic unbeaten 84 powered them past USA despite an early batting wobble. The spin duo of Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy, plus pace spearhead Mohammed Siraj (3/29 in the opener), will relish the spin-friendly Delhi pitch. Key concerns: Abhishek Sharma’s fitness after an upset stomach β he might miss out, with potential tweaks to the top order.
Namibia, led by Gerhard Erasmus, have shown they can punch above their weight in T20Is. Their bowling attack, featuring David Wiese and Bernard Scholtz, could trouble India’s middle order if they strike early. Namibia will look to exploit any complacency and post a competitive total or defend low with tight fielding.
