- This is set to be the second men’s T20I between India and Namibia; India won by nine wickets in their inaugural meeting (8 November 2021 in Dubai, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup).
- India have won their last nine ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches – the longest winning run of any team in the history of the tournament; they have batted first on the day in seven of those nine games, including each of the last six.
- Namibia have lost two of their last three men’s T20Is (W1), as many as they lost across their 10 matches prior in the format (W8 L2); they will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats in the format to begin a calendar year for the first time ever, following their seven-wicket loss against Netherlands in their only previous game this year (10 February – ICC Men’s T20 World Cup).
- India defeated Bangladesh by 86 runs in their most recent men’s T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi (9 October 2024); they had won just one of all their three matches at the venue in the format prior to that game (L2).
- Namibia have recorded a bowling dot ball rate of 31% at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the lowest of any team in Group A; they’ve conceded 2.12 runs per scoring shot when they’ve bowled, the second most of any team in Group A (USA – 2.49).
- India have scored 71% of their runs from boundaries at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the best rate of any team in Group A; although, their batting dot ball rate (46%) is the highest of any team in Group A.
- Jan Frylinck (Namibia) has a batting false shot rate of 15.4% from 26 balls faced at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the best of any player in Group A to face at least 10 deliveries.
- Arshdeep Singh (India) has a bowling economy rate of 4.5 at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the best of any player in Group A; he’s taken 43 wickets at a strike rate of 12.7 across his last 25 T20I innings overall.
- JJ Smit (5) is one away from equaling Craig Williams (6) and Nikolaas Davin (6) for the second most 50+ scores for Namibia in men’s T20Is (Gerhard Erasmus – 14); he scored 61* against Tanzania (2 October 2025) but has logged fewer than 25 runs in each of his three innings in the format since then (23, 13, 22).
- Suryakumar Yadav (564) is 30 away from surpassing Yuvraj Singh (593) as India’s third all-time leading run scorer in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history (Virat Kohli – 1,292 & Rohit Sharma – 1,220); he’s scored 50+ runs in four of his last five T20I innings overall (82*, 57*, 8, 63, 84*).
