"India posted an imposing 209-9, setting a target that was always likely to prove beyond Namibia. Ishan Kishan hit six fours and five maximums as he top-scored with 61, becoming the first Indian wicketkeeper to post a half-century in the T20 World Cup. That powered India to 104-1 before Gerhard Erasmus (4-20) removed Kishan, and the subsequent dismissals of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma left them wobbling a little on 124-4."
"The opening partnership of 33 between Louren Steenkamp (29) and Jan Frylinck (22) was the best it got for Namibia, who were unable to stem the tide of wickets after Arshdeep Singh removed the latter and Steenkamp fell to Varun Chakravarthy (3-7). Varun took two wickets in three balls in the 10th over, and there was never any hope of a fightback from Namibia's lower and middle order thereafter."
India posted 209-9 after being put into bat, with Ishan Kishan top-scoring on 61 — the first Indian wicketkeeper half-century in the T20 World Cup. The innings reached 104-1 before Gerhard Erasmus (4-20) removed Kishan; further dismissals of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma left India 124-4. Hardik Pandya then countered with a 28-ball 52, hitting four fours and four sixes to steady the chase. Namibia began with a 33-run opening stand but collapsed as Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy (3-7) triggered a rout. Namibia were all out for 116 and India won by 93 runs, their largest T20 World Cup margin and tenth consecutive tournament victory.
