IND vs NAM Betting Tips
Suryakumar Yadav to score Over 28.5 runs
Suryakumar Yadav has been in good form during the buildup to this contest. He has scored at least 29 runs in 5 of his last 6 matches, including 4 half-centuries, and we are backing him to play a good knock in this match as well.
Highest individual score Over 62.5
The pitch at Delhi is usually good to bat on. 5 of the last 6 games played here has seen at least one individual score Over 63 or more runs, and we expect that trend to continue.

IND vs NAM Team Previews
India
While India did win its opening game against the USA, it wasnāt an ideal win, and the team will hope to make improvements, especially as it faces arch-rivals Pakistan next weekend.
Abhishek Sharma suffered a rare failure at the top of the order, and that has a cascading effect on the batting line-up, as India kept losing wickets in quick succession. Nevertheless, Abhishek will continue to open the batting alongside Ishan Kishan in this match. They are both excellent players of the new ball and will look to get India off to a brisk start.
Suryakumar Yadav scored an excellent half-century in the previous match and will form the backbone of Indiaās middle order along with Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh. The batting from the two all-rounders, Axar Patel and Shivam Dube, hasnāt been the best, and they will have a chance to get some runs under their belt.
Coming to the bowling, Mohammed Siraj bowled an excellent spell to pick 3 wickets and is likely to retain his place in the pace department alongside Arshdeep Singh, while Varun Chakravarthy will lead the spin department.
India Expected Playing 11
Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav (C), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj

Namibia
Namibia put up a spirited performance against the Netherlands in their opening fixture, but fell short of winning the match. As India is a much stronger opponent, Namibia will see this match as a good learning experience.
A lot will depend on the opening pair of Louren Steenkamp and Jan Frylinck as they open the proceedings with the bat for Namibia. The duo will hope to give the team a stable start and see off the new ball.
Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton appeared to be in fine touch as he scored 42 runs against the Netherlands, and his role will be crucial as he tries to stitch partnerships with Gerhard Erasmus, JJ Smit, and Zane Green in the middle order. Namibiaās bowling hasnāt been the best, and that is one area where the team will need to work on.
Bernard Scholtz is among the teamās most experienced bowlers, and the team will need him to keep the scoring rate under control during the middle overs. He will be supported by Willem Myburgh and Gerhard Erasmus in the spin department. Ruben Trumpelmann continues to lead the attack with the new ball and will be joined by Max Heingo.
Namibia Expected Playing 11
Louren Steenkamp, Jan Frylinck, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (C), Zane Green (WK), JJ Smit, Dylan Leicher, Ruben Trumpelmann, Max Heingo, Bernard Scholtz, Willem Myburgh
IND vs NAM Toss Prediction
3 of the last 4 matches played here were won while chasing. We, therefore, think that the team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We are expecting a good batting surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The pitch has some live grass that will allow the ball to skid through, and the surface offers good pace and bounce. The boundaries are pretty short, and the outfield is quick, too. The team batting first will look to score at least 180 runs.
The weather is expected to remain pleasant with temperatures of under 20 degrees, and there is no forecast for rain. However, we may see some dew during the second half of the match.
IND vs NAM : Who Will Win?
We are backing India to win this match. Namibia doesnāt have the experience of playing against such a tough opponent, and it is the first time they are visiting India, making things even more difficult. The hosts should have no problems winning the game.
Bet on India to win.
