After defeating the USA in a close-fought battle at the Wankhede Stadium, Team India gears up to take on Namibia as Suryakumar Yadav’s men aim to go back-to-back in the ongoing T20 World Cup. India will play the high-octane match against Pakistan on Sunday, February 15, and before the match, the Men in Blue will aim to fine-tune their combination.

The Indian batting looked lethargic against the USA, as, barring Suryakumar Yadav, none of the batters delivered the goods. However, the Indian bowlers were upto the mark as they defended the target of 161, rather easily on a flat batting surface.

Team India does have injuries and health issues, as Abhishek Sharma is suffering from an upset stomach and is unlikely to take part in the Namibia match. Jasprit Bumrah and Washington Sundar are also coming back from their respective health and injury problems, as the players aim to get some match practice under their belt.

On the other hand, Namibia suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Netherlands, and the side will hope to give India a major scare on a tricky Arun Jaitley wicket. The match will be played in Delhi and ahead of the game, we take a look at the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch report and weather report.

Talking about the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch report for India vs Namibia, only nine T20I international matches have taken place at this venue, and it has been more conducive to the batters. In the IPL, the surface turns out to be a batting paradise, and bowlers tend to find it hard to get going.

However, the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch in the ongoing T20 World Cup has offered something for the bowlers. In the only game that has been played at this venue (Netherlands vs Namibia), there was something in store for the pacer, and bowlers who enjoyed changing their pace got wickets.

However, that was a day game, and the India vs Namibia clash will take place at night. A few days ago, the stadium had plenty of dew at night, and this factor could also play an important role on Thursday. There is still winter in Delhi, and as the game progresses, dew will come into play, and the Arun Jaitley surface will help the batters in the second innings.
