Namibia will be one of 20 teams competing in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8. They have been placed in Group A alongside India, the United States, Pakistan and the Netherlands.
Namibia will begin their campaign on February 10, 2026, facing the Netherlands in Delhi. They will then play India on February 12 at the same venue and conclude their group-stage campaign with a clash against the USA on February 15 in Chennai.
Despite limited recent competitive action before the tournament, Namibia’s growing T20 experience and competitive spirit make them a team to watch in the early stages.
