IND vs NAM Match 18 Live Score - Delhi (12 February 2026)

Off the mark straightaway. Shortish length from Pandya to begin with, at the body and Louren Steenkamp tucks it down to the right of mid-wicket for a single.

A hint of shape on offer. Hard length around the top of off, shapes back into the left-hander. Jan Frylinck hops back and jams it down the pitch.

This time goes the other way. Subtle change in the wrist-action from Hardik and this length ball is darted well across the left-hander. Frylinck reaches out but is beaten by the movement on the ball and the low bounce as well.

A good-looking shot but for no run. Pitched up, full and outside off, swings back in. Frylinck goes on one knee and smacks it straight to cover.

Half an appeal for a caught behind. Hardik Pandya asks the keeper - 'Awaaz aaya tha?' Which means, did you hear a noise? There was a noise, certainly, but India didn't take the review. A well-directed short ball over middle, Jan Frylinck looks to pull but is hurried, and it seems that the ball just brushed the helmet on its way to Ishan Kishan.

Pitched up again, on off, patted on the up and to mid off for one. Just two singles off the first over of the chase.

Good-length delivery, attacking the stumps. Frylinck looks to drive but the length isn't full enough and he jams it onto the deck.

A touch fuller, on middle again, pushed gently towards mid on for a quick single.

FOUR! Crunched! Fractionally short but wide outside off, Louren Steenkamp waits well and collapses the knees a bit before slapping it behind point for the first boundary of the chase.

Back of a length and around off, Steenkamp stands tall, rides the bounce and punches it down to covers for a single.

A low full toss, angling into the pads. Jan Frylinck gets low and flicks it aerially. The ball goes on the bounce to Rinku Singh at deep backward square leg and Frylinck gets a single.

Around the wicket now to the right-hander. Shortish length around off, Steenkamp taps it into the off side and pinches an easy single. A steady start for Namibia but they need plenty of boundaries in the first 6 overs to stay in the game.

Fuller in length on off, shapes away sharply. Steenkamp gets a thick outside edge as he looks to drive and gets it to short third. The slip fielder was just removed by Pandya and this would have gone to hands if a fielder was at first slip. A single is taken.

FOUR! Solid hit! Pitched up, outside off, Jan Frylinck gets low and swats it back past the non-striker for a boundary.

Good carry! On a good length in the channel, moves in the air a bit and goes through quickly. Frylinck plays a loose attempted drive but is well beaten.

SIX! Oh, the sweet sound when the ball made contact with the willow. Bowled back of a length by Pandya and angled into the batter, Jan Frylinck stays leg side of the ball and swings it baseball-style over deep mid-wicket for a 96-meter behemoth.

Oh, nearly gets chopped on! Hard length over off and middle, Frylinck backs away to cut but gets a bottom edge onto the deck. The batters manage to scamper through for a single as well.

Shortish length on leg, Steenkamp turns it off the hips through backward square leg for another single. 13 off the over.

Off-pace delivery from Arshdeep, short and wide outside off. Steenkamp reaches out and slaps it wide of deep point. Rinku Singh is quick across the turf and cuts it off, keeping it down to a single.

WIDE! A slower bumper now, around off and this one lobs over the batter's head. Left alone for a wide.

FOUR! Another attempted slower one from Arshdeep, and it comes out all wrong. This is a waist-height full toss, wide outside off. Jan Frylinck reaches out and toe-ends the lofted shot to the left of mid off. The ball hits the turf and rolls away into the fence.

FOUR! Namibia are starting to find their rhythm now. Shortish length over middle, Frylinck hangs back and pulls it hard and in front of mid-wicket for a boundary.

OUT! CAUGHT! The sound off the bat is good again but unfortunately for Jan Frylinck, the connection isn't all that good as the ball goes off the toe-end of the bat. Arshdeep Singh bowls another one that is short of a length and over off and middle, but it is the knuckle-ball. Frylinck leans back to pull and does so early and aerially. There is an extra fielder out in the deep on the leg side and Frylinck finds Shivam Dube at deep mid-wicket. Just when Jan was starting to look good, he is sent packing. 250th T20 wicket for Arshdeep.

Good-length delivery in the channel, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton plays it late and dabs it down behind point.

Length ball outside off, tapped away behind point for a single.

Back of a length and outside off, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton stays on his toes, plays away from the body and gets it through cover-point for a single.

Tap and run! Shortish length around off, Steenkamp hangs back and just angles it down to backward point for a quick single.

Oh, a direct hit and it would have been curtains for Loftie-Eaton. Full and outside off, Jan pre-meditates the scoop but adjusts and jams it down to short third for a single. His bat gets stuck in the turf but the throw at the bowler's end from Jasprit Bumrah is wide.

Good change-up from Dube. Slower delivery, on a hard length and outside off. Steenkamp has a poke at it but misses.

Full and wide outside off, Louren Steenkamp goes after it but ends up slicing it over extra cover for a couple of runs.

Slower and shorter over middle, swung away to deep mid-wicket for a single. A decent first over from Dube.

FOUR! Streaky, but they all count! Pace off, angled across off, on a length. Louren Steenkamp clears the front leg and looks to launch it down the ground. Gets a thickish outside edge that flies over short third for a four.

FOUR MORE! Nothing streaky about this one! Arshdeep bashes the surface, around off. Louren picks the slower ball and waits on it. Slaps it with a horizontal bat over mid on for another boundary.

WIDE! Tries to keep it away from the batter but this is sprayed beyond the tramline. Louren Steenkamp lets it go.

Quicker delivery and Arshdeep gets it high enough on the bumper, outside off. Steenkamp walks across the stumps and goes hard on the pull but the ball sails over his blade.

50 comes up for Namibia! Slower one, on a length, outside off, Steenkamp cuts it to deep point. Fastest fifty for Namibia in T20 World Cups, as informed by Sunil Gavaskar on air.

Arshdeep bends his back and digs it short, following the batter. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton gets his hands high and drags the pull in front of square for a run.

SIX! All the way! An ideal end to the Powerplay for Namibia.
