IND Vs NAM Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by India, with some matches being played in India. This match is a Group A game, and will be a match played between two teams with very different expectations in this tournament
India comes into this tournament as the overwhelming favourites. Not only do they host the 2026 T20 World Cup, but they also come into it as the defending champions. Finally, they are also in excellent T20I form as of late. They automatically qualified for this tournament as the hosts. Late last year, they beat Australia in their home turn in a T20 series, before beating South Africa in a T20I series. This year, after an ODI series loss to New Zealand at home, the Men in Blue thrashed the Kiwis 4-1 in T20Is. Most recently, they beat the Proteas in their only warm-up game before the World Cup.
India survived an upset scare in their opening game against the United States of America, but ended up winning the match comfortably in the end.
Meanwhile, Namibia directly made it to the second round of the Africa Regional qualifiers, where they topped their group to make it to the final round, where they reached the final to qualify for the World Cup. More recently, they defeated South Africa in a one-off T20. In the warm-up games before this competition, they defeated Scotland before losing to India A.
Namibia were thoroughly beaten by the Netherlands in their opening World Cup match.

IND Vs NAM Match 18 2026 T20 World Cup Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
While historically a little sticky wicket, in recent years, the conditions at Arun Jaitley Stadium have been highly conducive to batting. The pitches are flat, with almost no support to bowlers, coupled with short boundaries, making it a batter’s haven. There might be a little something for the pacers here early in the inning. Overall, based on the progress of this competition so far, the tracks are expected to be quite balanced and competitive. The Arun Jaitley is usually a smaller ground. The square boundaries are generally around 60-62m in length, while the straight ones extend out to 68m, possibly 70.
