Namibia get crucial breakthrough after Kishan’s blistering knock

India lost a key wicket at 104 for 2 in 7.1 overs after Ishan Kishan’s explosive innings came to an end. Kishan was dismissed for 61 off 24 balls, caught by Ben Shikongo off the bowling of Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus. His innings featured six fours and five sixes and had put India firmly in control.

Tilak Varma was unbeaten on 20 from 11 balls, while Suryakumar Yadav walked in at the fall of the wicket. The Kishan–Tilak partnership had added 79 runs in just 30 balls, following Sanju Samson’s earlier dismissal for 22.

Despite the breakthrough, India continued at a rapid pace, scoring 78 runs in the last five overs. Namibia, who won the toss and chose to bowl first, finally managed to halt the run surge with Erasmus delivering an immediate impact ball.
