Excellent bowling performance by Varun Chakraborty, Akshar Patel, Hardik Pandya. Namibia all out for 116 runs in 18.2 overs. Team India won by 93 runs.

In the match, Namibia won the toss and decided to bowl. Sanju Samson, who got a chance in place of Abhishek Sharma, started well but failed to score big. He got out with bad shot selection for 22 runs off 8 balls. Then Ishan Kishan and Tilak Verma took the team’s scoreboard forward. Cricket lovers watch the Ishan Kishan show especially on Power Play.

Ishaan Kishan thrashed the power play in the last over. He hit 4 consecutive sixes and a four in the sixth over and changed the color of the match. Ishan scored a total of 28 runs in that over. He completed his half century with 20 balls after the sixth over. India crossed 100 runs in 6.5 overs. But then he got out after playing an innings of 61 runs off 24 balls. His innings consisted of 5 sixes and 6 fours.

Ishan and Tilak made a partnership of 79 runs. After the dismissal of Ishan Kishan, the pressure increased on the Indian team. Tilak was out for 25 and Surya for 12. Losing 3 wickets in a short span, India’s run rate has decreased a bit. Then Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey again increased the pace of runs. Dubey-Hardik made a partnership of 26 balls by Mercatori batting.

Hardik Pandya completed his personal half century with 27 balls. But after Hardik got out, India lost three more wickets in a row. Dubey, Akshar and Rinku return to Sajghar. As a result, the speed of the run is slightly reduced. Namibia made a quick comeback in bowling in the last 2 overs. India’s innings ended with 9 wickets for 209 runs.

Namibia got off to a good start in the run chase. Apart from maintaining the run rate, the Namibian batsmen also played several mercurial shots. Steenkamp, ​​Freelink, Erasmus tried but could not keep the rush of the match due to lack of experience. Especially when the Indian spinners come to bowl, the color of the match changes completely. The Namibian batters surrendered helplessly in front of Varun Chakraborty’s whirlwind.

Coming to the bowling, Varun Chakraborty broke the back of Namibia’s batting by taking 3 wickets in 2 overs. After that, Namibia did not get any chance to return to the match. India completely controlled the rush of the match. Akshar-Hardik caught attention in bowling. Namibia were all out for 116 runs. Besides, India used a total of 6 bowlers and all got wickets. This win will boost India’s confidence ahead of the Pakistan match.
