T20 World Cup: IND vs NAM Dream11 prediction, head to head, probable playing XI & more

The match is slated to begin at 7:30 pm IST with the toss scheduled for 30 minutes prior to the start of play. Both teams are already of the marquee ICC event and will now play to regain their lost dignity. While India will come into the game on the back of two back-to-back wins, Namibia have lost three out of their last four games in the tournament. 

India vs Namibia: H2H record

India and Namibia have played just one game against each other in the history of ICC events since the former became an associate member of the global cricketing body in 1992. The two sides met during the 2003 50-over Cricket World Cup, which Namibia lost by 181 runs. The game is most notably remembered for the 244-run partnership between Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly. While Sachin scored a magnificent 152 off 151 balls, Ganguly remained unbeaten at 112 off 119 balls to help India post a mammoth total of 311 runs. In reply, India removed Namibia batters for just 130 runs.
