New Delhi: Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, India continued their dominant run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 by defeating Namibia by 93 runs in their second group-stage match. This historic win also made India the first team in T20 World Cup history to win 10 consecutive matches, a record previously shared by South Africa and Australia with eight straight victories.
Record-Breaking Streak
With victories over the United States (by 32 runs) and Namibia, India has now gone unbeaten in the tournament from 2024 to 2026. The team’s consistency underscores their dominance in the shortest format of the game, setting them apart as a formidable contender ahead of their high-voltage clash against Pakistan on 15 February at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium.
Batting Masterclass
After losing the toss, Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus opted to field. India posted a challenging total of 209 for 9 in 20 overs, led by Ishan Kishan’s 61-run knock and a fiery 52 from Hardik Pandya.
Namibia Collapses
Chasing 210, Namibia fought hard initially but crumbled to 116 all out in 18.2 overs. India’s spin attack spearheaded the bowling performance, with Varun Chakravarthy claiming 3 wickets, while Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya picked up 2 wickets each. Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Dube, and Jasprit Bumrah contributed with 1 wicket apiece, sealing a comprehensive victory for India.
