India may have avoided an early upset, but they will be eager to rediscover their dominant touch when they take on Namibia on Thursday. The Men in Blue began their title defence with a victory over the USA at the Wankhede Stadium, though the win did not come without a few anxious moments.
With a high-voltage IND vs PAK showdown looming this weekend, Suryakumar Yadav and his men will be keen to fine-tune their performance and address the shortcomings from their opening game.
Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
Before the IND vs NAM clash, the Arun Jaitley Stadium hosted the Netherlands vs Namibia clash with the Dutch side won comfortable. It was a day game and the African nation could only muster 156 which was chased down relatively with ease.
With the India game being an evening fixture, runs could be easier to come by with dew. Furthermore, India's power hitters could make use of the short boundaries on offer and really pile on the runs.
