That’s it for this game, folks! A comprehensive win for India A, while Namibia have a lot of thinking to do before the all-important ICC T20 World Cup, which starts tomorrow at 11:00 AM IST! But that's it for this game. Until next time, this is Dwijesh Reddy signing off! Take care and see you soon!
India A won by 130 runs
Riyan Parag - 69(39) | Gurjapneet Singh - 2/6
Dylan Leicher - 22(20) | Gerhard Erasmus - 2/2
What promised to be a competitive chase turned into a one-sided rout as India A dismantled Namibia for 67 in 12.1 overs, sealing a comprehensive warm-up win at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.
Namibia never settled against India A’s youthful pace battery. The trio of Mayank Yadav, Gurjapneet Singh and Ashok Sharma exposed the visitors with raw pace, steep bounce and relentless accuracy, picking up two wickets each and leaving the batting order in disarray. No Namibian batter looked comfortable, with the top and middle order collapsing under sustained pressure.
The spinners arrived late to complete the job, as Vipraj Nigam, Ayush Badoni and Ravi Bishnoi chipped in to hasten the end. Dylan Leicher’s 22 off 20 balls was the lone moment of resistance in an otherwise forgettable innings.
For India A, it was a statement performance - dominant with bat, ball and in the field, highlighting emerging names like Riyan Parag and an exciting pace group. Namibia, meanwhile, will hope to quickly move on as sterner tests await in the World Cup proper.
