Having already eked out a narrow win against United States of America (USA), the India A team led by Ayush Badoni will once again be looking to dampen the Namibian spirits when both sides face off in a warm-up game ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, which starts on Saturday.

Baring Tilak Varma, none of the players in the India A squad are in the senior squad for the T20 World Cup 2026, but it gives a much-needed exposure for the fringe players against some of the best in the world. For Tilak, it will be another opportunity to get game-time after injury.

The Hyderabad batter, who missed the New Zealand series due to an abdominal issue, returned on the field during the warm-ups, and looked in best possible shape to return to the main event. Tilak scored 38 and 45 against USA and South Africa, thus putting him in good stead.

N Jagadeesan, who scored a hundred against USA, will once again be eager to continue in the same form against Namibia. For the visitors, they are coming into this clash after edging Scotland by narrow six runs.
