Netherlands to play Namibia in T20 World Cup 2026 [Source: @KNCBcricket, @CricketNamibia1/X.com]
Netherlands will take on Namibia in the 10th fixture of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to be held on February 10 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, at 11:00 AM IST.
The Netherlands made a strong first impression in the tournament, pushing Pakistan close and showing clear signs of solid preparation.
A couple of lapses in the field and poor decisions made at critical moments cost them dear, yet their overall performance served as a stiff warning to the rest of the group.
Namibia, on the other hand, still have to find their momentum. It is their fourth T20 World Cup, and they’ll hopefully find solace in their run in the Super 12 tournament in 2022.

NED vs NAM: Key player battles
Michael Levitt vs Ruben Trumpelmann
Levitt’s aggressive approach at the top is crucial for the Netherlands, especially in powerplay overs. Namibia will count on Trumpelmann’s left-arm pace and movement to disrupt Levitt early and force a mistake before he settles in.
Gerhard Erasmus vs Aryan Dutt
Erasmus is Namibia’s anchor and the man they trust in pressure situations. Aryan Dutt’s tidy off-spin could play a key role in slowing him down and breaking partnerships in the middle overs.
Bas de Leede vs JJ Smit
De Leede brings balance and late acceleration to the Dutch lineup. JJ Smit’s smart variations and ability to bowl at different stages will test de Leede’s shot selection, making this a crucial contest in the second half of the innings.

NED vs NAM: Toss prediction
The toss could play a big role in this match. Teams winning the toss are likely to choose batting first. The pitch stays true early, and scoring becomes easier when the ball is new.
As the game goes on, dew can make bowling harder and reduce grip for spinners. Defending totals at this venue has often been tricky. With a daytime start, captains may want runs on the board and pressure on the chasing side.

NED vs NAM Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win Match 10?
The Netherlands go into this match with slight momentum on their side. Their close fight against Pakistan showed discipline, smart batting, and good planning.
Players like Scott Edwards and Bas de Leede add calm in pressure moments, which can make the difference in tight games. Namibia, however, will remain a dangerous side.
Their confidence after recent upsets and a strong bowling attack can quickly change the game. If they handle key moments better, they can challenge the Dutch. Overall, the Netherlands look a bit more settled, but this contest could stay close till the end.
