00:02so we're in the capital city of india and the juggernaut moves on in the t20 world cup 2026
00:10match 18 coming up here today the capital rich in history and tradition india taking on namibia
00:18today in what should be a good contest great exposure for uh namibian boys playing in front
00:27of big crowds plenty of noise and india would like to carry on from where they left in the last
00:34game
00:35the toss happened a little while earlier it was namibia who won the toss and decided to feel
00:41first and he packed rough with the two on field empires the ball australians paul rifle got tata
01:25will make their way out to the
01:27center two changes in the Indian team remember Abhishek Sharma's two changes
01:36for Namibia as well Billen Leesher and Billen Mayberg miss out
01:42they also conditions are changing haven't they since they relayed the
01:45surface we've saw in that last 50 over World Cup that was hosted here there was
01:49a score basically 400 from Australia 420 from South Africa so it can be one of
01:55those absolute belters and if Indian top order get going you could see some
01:59fireworks tonight they're started leap
02:05wide signal what some shape there it's the the experience for him as well just
02:11running
02:15there's some evidence of what we may see so we've seen some swing we've seen some
02:18bounce it kind of got so the first runs on the board I can understand where you
02:27coming from Paulie when you said negative because if one big players did for years
02:33here when they would come for a game and there were nets outside on the practice
02:36pitches never
02:40it start from it you got to say yes the first one was a wide but since then he
02:44settled in nicely he's hitting a good length you can see
02:50and good line good length staff of the pill I think there was inside edge that's
02:58Samson for you
03:02nice easy extension of the arms five yards right or left if you're in the wrong
03:08position the ball will beat you that's how quick this outfield is too straight to
03:14that's flicked into the crowd for six
03:19he's dealing in sixes
03:23and again it's gone many a mile this one even bigger
03:32turn six for Samson
03:34yeah what a start 18
03:38nicely played lovely cricketing shot this
03:45seizing it into it stroking it over extra couple
03:48two of seven striking it over 300
03:51and the good thing
03:54that's in the air should be taken
03:56oh half-hearted shot a real soft dismissal this
04:00a fielder placed there precisely for that
04:05and Sam
04:15another terrific player
04:33four more there's picking up length quickly
04:38did justice to his name poor rifle he was up in a flash
04:49has to hurry
04:53slight hesitation a direct hit was needed
04:56I think direct hit and he was gone
05:00that's flicked away
05:04he's done that with ease
05:07there are signs of a blur
05:08that wasn't his best delivery he has to just concentrate on trying to get his best one
05:16he was out of the side for some time Ishan Kishan
05:20I think
05:28facial features of the fifth ball he was thinking oh nearly got through nearly got my breakthrough
05:34a swag away
05:36fine leg up in the circle
05:38so a boundary to start the over
05:42Larn once again Ravi isn't it it's all about Larn
05:44really experienced not too much express
05:48they have to be as tight as possible
05:52that's gone away fine
05:54have to wait for the umpire signal
05:56boundary signal so he's got some bat on it
05:59the 50 comes up in quick time
06:01just the 4.3 of the 11 already of this over two balls to go
06:10oh he's given himself room and smacked it
06:15much taller than Ishan Kishan so he had to reach out
06:26so the captain is next in Harak Panya in Dube and Rinku at seven
06:33who has already had one over
06:39there's two fielders and that makes it very very difficult for the e-bowlers
06:47but India have also done well apart from hitting boundaries
06:53that's too easy that's just a poor line and for a man in form like Ishan Kishan is at the
07:00moment
07:00that's it with cheese bowling makes it that much easier for the e-
07:07and there's no one way back there I promise you that's huge
07:13that is massive that is absolutely incredible shot
07:18he does it anyway he doesn't get the same amount of timing but he will get the same result
07:24and he said that just before the over started that
07:29do not fear failure failure
07:31and add another six to that by the look of it
07:35or not yes just
07:38there were a few nerves
07:40Freiling was pretty close
07:43well he won't get six but he's hit four in the over and he'll get a boundary
07:47what a power play for Ishan Kishan
07:50what a power play for him
07:57first six overs
07:58a run rate over 14
08:03I undersold it
08:04it's 70 adding overs but when you're 86 for one do you really consolidate
08:12down down down down and that's a big big mistake
08:15it looks so comfortable it came at a beautiful height to take it in
08:22oh that's gone high
08:24that has gone
08:26very very high
08:3299
08:33just
08:34your instincts as a bowler tells you to bowl tight lines
08:37that's what
08:38pops across to the off stamp and whacks it behind square for four more
08:43that's a hundred up
08:45the fastest team hundred
08:471-0-4-1
08:54or that
08:55although he might get lucky early
08:57yes he does
08:58he picks up a wicked first ball
09:00and the little man who's been smacking pace absolutely everywhere
09:04gets it slightly wrong
09:26and with time to burn as well
09:28and now a chance for
09:30maybe Namibia to just pull it back a wee bit
09:35skidding through from Erasmus
09:37this is turning out to be a heck of an over
09:44and okay
09:45interesting
09:46we'll come back to that
09:47Rod Tucker not happy
09:48as we're at the point of relief
09:49and so because of that
09:50he's going to go to Bernard
09:52Schultz of course
09:53on the charge
09:55no timing there for
10:01get that one fine enough
10:05just for two
10:06no just for one
10:07really good fielding
10:08Namibia
10:27flicks it
10:27flicks it
10:29just wide of the man
10:30behind square
10:32just wide of him
10:33but that is
10:35it's gone
10:36we're at the halfway point
10:36it's 120 for two
10:46brilliant
10:47absolutely brilliant
10:48there's not a whole heap of turn
10:51but boy
10:52what a moment for Schultz
10:53what a moment for Namibia
10:54who's had a really good
10:5510-15 minutes
10:58they have recovered
10:59from a bit of a pasting
11:01in the early overs
11:07things to the crease
11:08Hardik Pandya
11:09so many batting options
11:11at this time
11:15does open the bowling
11:18and we just see it
11:20differently here
11:22just 20 deliveries
11:23the second fastest
11:25exists in cricket
11:27as soon as there's any issue
11:29to be discussed
11:30Polly's just straight up
11:34clearly
11:35you can't be below the shoulder
11:37for sure
11:37there he goes again
11:40big shot down
11:41the ground taken
11:41easily
11:42yes it is a really good phase
11:44for Namibia
11:45and they are being rewarded
11:47the unorthodox skipper
11:49Erasmus
11:49round arm
11:50has picked
11:52I think first ball
11:53just didn't pick a slowable
11:55just helped it on its way
11:56behind square
11:58yeah
11:59the slack week
12:08skulps to continue
12:12beautifully timed
12:13what a shot
12:14effortless
12:15from Hardik Pandya
12:18that's the first boundary
12:24if ever you wanted to see
12:25the impact of wickets
12:26on the scoring rate
12:28take a look at that
12:45but yes
12:45Shivam has been
12:46impressive so far
12:49incredibly talented
13:02just won
13:03that'll be the type of delivery
13:05he will receive
13:06from time to time
13:09what a shot
13:10what a shot
13:11we've seen some fantastic shots
13:13throughout the evening
13:13so far
13:14not too many better
13:15than that one
13:1510 from the over
13:17still going strong
13:2052 not out
13:21from 53
13:22come Rinku now
13:24at
13:24number 7
13:26brilliant finisher
13:29and Hardik
13:30just joins in the fun
13:31anything you can do
13:32Shivam
13:33I can do just as well
13:35yeah
13:36went right to Hardik as well
13:3819 with 2 to go
13:40jeez
13:40expensive over
13:44should have been stopped
13:45and will go for 4
13:47costly
13:47didn't need that
13:48expensive over
13:49gets even worse
14:04yeah
14:04yeah the key to somebody
14:05is Skoltz has finished
14:06he's done his 4
14:07but Rasmus has got 1 left
14:09but besides
14:096s of the tournament
14:10so far
14:16there's another one
14:17to add to the list
14:18won't go 100 metres
14:19but will get the same result
14:2250 partners
14:23he knows it's going to be
14:24that line there
14:26he knows it
14:27because of the field set
14:29it's telegraphed
14:30he has to bowl
14:31that line
14:32with that field set
14:33backhand 3 overs
14:34none for 33
14:37and this is just the green light
14:40I'm convinced about the plan
14:41but that delivery was good
14:43if they can manage to get it
14:44in that area
14:55he's recovering from illness
14:57he'll be back
14:59and Ishan
15:02single down the ground
15:03to Pana
15:04and look for him
15:05because he's one of those players
15:06not just because of the haircut
15:08he stands out
15:11so you can't do much better than that
15:14just thinking of that last over
15:15it went for five singles
15:17and a leg bar
15:19length
15:21spot on perfect
15:25just a little bit too much
15:27weapon doesn't carry
15:34the funny thing is
15:35we watch that
15:36there have been two overs in a row
15:37so
15:38something's not feeling right
15:39in his hands
15:43oh boy
15:45oh that's a long way back
15:46over mid wicket
15:48that's his third 50
15:50takes the pace off it a wee bit
15:52and taken
15:53and this could be bring
15:54oh wonderful catch
15:56that is just sublime skill
16:01irrespective
16:02Rinku Singh
16:03in that seven
16:04still they've got Akshar Patel

16:29straight through
16:30this guy's a genius
16:34unbelievable stuff
16:37it's brilliant
16:38they love it
16:39find Varun Chakravati
16:41at the crease
16:42when we
16:4210 minutes ago
16:43in troll
16:45this could be out
16:46in fact I think it will be
16:48oh this is turning out
16:49to be a wonderful finish
16:51for Nbibia
16:51wow
16:53it's Erasmus in the game again
16:55he's the one who takes the catch
16:56but compliments of Goplin
16:57to get it there
16:59and that's another
17:00pinpoint accurate delivery
17:02Arshteev Singh's going to come back
17:03this will be a good contest
17:04but he'll lose
17:05I'm pretty sure
17:07have pulled it back
17:09brilliantly
17:10absolutely brilliantly
17:11and I'm not sure
17:12Garam Gambia
17:13whose name is on a grandstand
17:15at this ground
17:16will be that delighted
17:17with what he's saying
17:1752 from 28
17:18they were the reason why
17:20India got through to
17:22209 for 9
17:23in their 20 overs
17:26so welcome back
17:27and we're ready
17:29for the second half
17:29of play here

17:31here in New Delhi
17:33the capital city of India
17:41and this
17:43209 score
17:48Freilink and steam camp
17:50will open the batting
17:51for Namibia
17:56these are good batting conditions
17:57and they'll want to go
17:59from the outside
18:01and keep in touch
18:03with that required rate
18:04right from the beginning
18:18this is the kind of wicket
18:21wrist swing out there
18:24Fever's delivery came back in
18:25subtle change
18:26and is
18:30sweetly timed
18:31straight to the fielder
18:33and the ball is swung
18:35but
18:36there you go
18:37on cue
18:38Robin
18:43now Ashdeep Singh
18:55about them
18:56being able to take wickets
18:58in the new ball
18:58so it's always in the front
19:00of an opening batter's head
19:01that okay
19:02this person
19:05that's nicely played
19:06just using the pace
19:09and getting the first
19:10boundary of the innings
19:11great shot this
19:13from Steenkamp
19:14weighted on
19:25on the bounce
19:43it's ten for no loss
19:48that's well struck
19:52fractionally over pitched
19:55and no half measures
19:57from Freilink
20:00that's huge
20:01what a sound
20:05when ball made contact
20:06with the bat
20:25yeah with the games
20:27outside the
20:31a wide signal
20:33and all eyes
20:34will be on

20:38just shot
20:41and will race
20:42away for four
20:45yeah
20:46oh that's well struck
20:48but
20:48taken in the deep
20:51this time
20:52this time
20:52the fielder
20:52had moved
20:52a little
20:53squarer
20:53an extra man
20:55was there
20:55he probably
20:56didn't see that
20:58and the first
20:59wicket
21:12he's a tall man
21:13he can hit the deck
21:14he might not be
21:15expressed
21:15but
21:16can bowl
21:16a heavy ball
21:22nicely bowled
21:24good change
21:24of pace
21:33he's over the top
21:35of the three men
21:35inside the circle
21:36and picks up a
21:37boundary
21:38fastest in the end
21:39to 250 wickets
21:41in T20
21:42internationals
21:43100
21:45over the top
21:46of Maran
21:47for four
21:47back to back
21:48boundaries
21:52Steenkamp
21:52has found
21:53his gear
21:53all of a sudden
21:55and that's
21:56under a bit
21:59of pressure
22:01Ashdeep Singh
22:02here
22:02two boundaries
22:03the first two
22:05swing and a miss
22:06that's a quicker
22:08delivery from Ashdeep Singh
22:09at 134.7
22:11up until then
22:12he'd bowl
22:12they're scoring
22:12at about
22:14nine runs
22:15and over
22:15the required
22:15is a little
22:16over 11
22:17so they've
22:17of
22:22pace off
22:23seems to be
22:23the order of the day
22:24we're about to see
22:25the most devastating
22:26bowler
22:27in world cricket
22:28in recent times
22:29with ball in hand
22:33down the leg side
22:34for an early wide
22:41top of the bat
22:42right on the splice
22:43so no real timing
22:44so no real timing
22:48my thinking
22:49is very simple
22:51just
22:53that's quick
22:54but how high
22:54is it
22:56poor rifle
22:57said
22:57that's just fine
23:01but
23:01it comes up
23:03with an absolute
23:03cracker
23:05a beauty
23:06yeah
23:07yeah the batter
23:07thought
23:08could go for four
23:11with just the pace
23:12of bummer
23:12it does
23:14I totally agree
23:15with you
23:16because
23:16you don't take
23:17liberties with
23:18Jasper at bummer
23:19you just simply
23:22he'll get two here
23:24quite comfortably
23:27and I guess the eight
23:28going his way
23:30or
23:31very skilful
23:32one of those guys
23:34who can make an early
23:35impact
23:36straight away
23:38starts
23:39straight away
23:40on target
23:44you had
23:45Erasmus
23:45this is a new
23:46player for
23:47go go go
23:50and after the
23:55after the match
23:56is over
23:57they're still
23:57trying to
24:01it's gone far
24:02enough
24:02I believe
24:03it has
24:04yes
24:05that was
24:06perfectly
24:06timed
24:07but
24:09I think
24:11Erasmus
24:11saw that
24:12one
24:14and
24:15dispatched
24:16it big
24:19good speed
24:20that's not
24:21the reason
24:21we are told
24:22that it was
24:23ruled out
24:23as it
24:24did
24:24so
24:25I'm not sure
24:26he's got
24:27enough of this
24:28unfortunately
24:28straight up

25:45is
25:50just

26:43is pulled
26:43in your back
26:44after a really
26:45good start
26:48that's the year
26:49that's the
26:49chance of a
26:50run out
26:51doesn't pick up
26:5814-0 was gone
26:59it's 100 for six
27:05so as many as six bowlers used you can see moment spin came in to play that's when the damage
27:11was done five wickets
27:24sound
27:25sounded like there was something on there
27:28and it's hammered back but straight too long on
27:32they nearly cleaned out the non-struck
27:38two is the call they settle for the
27:45not an easy ground for too many tools
27:52boundaries are just dried up here
27:59well they started well but as you can see
28:04they're still on the free here
28:16yeah they've had their moment suddenly
28:29last couple of months
28:32lean mean
28:35brilliant outstanding as ever from desperate boomerah it is only a matter of time before we see that delivery
28:43yeah boomerah right on the money
28:48you want to be in a bull issue you certainly want to
28:56simple as you like
28:57look to be a slow ball from Hardik and just dragged round
29:05nicely balled this about play either
29:10oh has to be yes may have just kept down a little bit
29:14but Hardik Pandya what a game you're having
29:17wicket to wicket and too good
29:21yeah that was gone well deceived by the slow ball
29:28what's the master plan Hardik Pandya what have you come up with he won't do that
29:34somehow somehow whether he's hit the stumps with the bat or whether the ball hit the stumps we'll find out
29:42either way that is that 116 all out
29:46yeah
