The Indian cricket team will clash with Namibia in their final Super 12 Group 2 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday, November 8.
India needs to win the match against Namibia to stay alive in the tournament although their semi-final qualification hopes rest on Afghanistan’s clash against New Zealand on Sunday, November 7. Meanwhile, Namibia who has won one game out of their four matches in Super 12s are already out of the semi-final contention.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams in T20I cricket. The last time India and Namibia played in an ICC event was way back in 2003 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup where India won the match by 181 runs.
The average score batting first at the Dubai International Stadium in T20Is is 143. Nine out of the ten matches played at the venue this year have been won by the team chasing.
