Samson Blitz as India Race to 25 Without Loss After Namibia Opt to Bowl

India made a flying start after being put in to bat by Namibia, racing to 25 without loss in just 1.5 overs. Sanju Samson led the charge with a blistering 22 off 7 balls, smashing three sixes and a four, while Ishan Kishan played a supporting role with 2 runs from 4 deliveries.

The opening partnership added 25 runs in 11 balls as Namibia’s bowlers struggled to contain the aggressive intent. Ben Shikongo conceded 17 runs in his first five deliveries, while Ruben Trumpelmann went for eight runs in his opening over. Namibia had earlier won the toss and chose to bowl, banking on dew and chasing conditions.
