IND VS NAM Match 18, Dream11 Team Prediction for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: The defending champion, India, looked a bit rusty in their first game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, and their batting was put under pressure by the disciplined bowling unit of the USA. At one stage, India were at 77/6 when put to bat first by the USA. But captain Suryakumar Yadav came to the rescue, slamming an unbeaten 84 off 49 balls, with 10 fours and four sixes.
He took India to a challenging total of 161/9. That proved to be enough to restrict the USA, after Indian bowling led by Mohammed Siraj kept taking wickets. India will move to their second game as they are set to take on Namibia on Thursday at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi at 7 PM IST. Star opener Abhishek Sharma, who was dismissed for a golden duck against the USA, is doubtful for the second game.
He is suffering from stomach pain and didn’t take part in the trailing session. But Jasprit Bumrah and Washington Sundar are good to go. Namibia are coming off a defeat in their opening game against the Netherlands. They were poor with the bat and need a better show to challenge the no. 1 ranked T20I side.

IND VS NAM Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Though Abhishek Sharma is unlikely to play this game but India have it covered. Sanju Samson can replace him at the top, which will add more options for India. Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the team will strengthen the bowling unit, and we might see 1-2 more changes to the squad.
Washington Sundar might get a game as India want him to be in action ahead of the Pakistan clash, where India can go with a spin-heavy attack. Will Kuldeep play, and will India give rest to Varun? But despite all these, India are way stronger than Namibia with bat and ball.
The wicket in Delhi is generally flat, and it will be a batting-friendly wicket, so we might see a big score by this Indian batting unit. Hence, we believe India are expected to beat Namibia in the upcoming game on Thursday.
