"Defending champions India continued their march towards the Super Eight stage of the Twenty20 World Cup with a 93-run plastering of Namibia in a group A contest at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Put into bat on Thursday, India racked up 209-9 after opener Ishan Kishan (61) and middle-order batter Hardik Pandya (52) struck rapid half-centuries. They returned to bundle out Namibia for 116 in 18.2 overs"
"I think it was a pretty good game for everyone, India captain Suryakumar Yadav said. It was not an easy wicket to bat on. The way Ishan and Sanju [Samson] started, it didn't really look like it, but it was a difficult wicket. With Abhishek Sharma, currently the top-ranked T20 batsman, still recovering from a stomach infection, an out-of-form Samson had another opportunity to impress after India were put into bat."
India defeated Namibia by 93 runs at Arun Jaitley Stadium to maintain momentum toward the Super Eight stage.

India top Group A on superior net run-rate and will meet Pakistan next in Colombo.
