February 11, New Delhi — The defending champions, India, will face off against Namibia in their Group A match on Thursday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. India defeated the USA by 29 runs in their opening match, while Namibia lost to the Netherlands. India will aim to secure their second consecutive win and build momentum ahead of their crucial match against Pakistan on Sunday. Meanwhile, the match is a must-win for Namibia, as a loss here would virtually end their chances of qualifying for the Super 8 stage. Ahead of the game, Ryan ten Doeschate revealed that Washington Sundar, who had been recovering at the BCCI Centre of Excellence after suffering a side strain, is back with the Indian team. However, explosive opener Abhishek Sharma is still not fit and missed Tuesday's training session. Sharma was hospitalized with a stomach infection, raising doubts about his participation in the match. Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the USA game due to a viral fever, has returned to training and is preparing to play again.
