India faces Namibia in their second group stage encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi today. The defending champions will look to bounce back from their early scare against the USA, where they were reduced to 77/6 before Suryakumar Yadav’s match-winning 84* rescued them.
Namibia arrives determined not to be overawed by the occasion, with captain Gerhard Erasmus urging his team to “fight the Namibian way.” However, the Associate nation faces challenges, including unfamiliarity with playing under lights at this venue.
Let’s take a look at where you can catch this exciting contest live from the comfort of your home.
