Namibia reached 57 for 1 at the end of six overs in their chase of 210, with Louren Steenkamp continuing to score briskly at the top. Steenkamp was unbeaten on 29 from 16 balls, hitting three fours and a six, while Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton was on 4 from 5 deliveries as the pair added 24 runs from 14 balls.
The only wicket to fall so far was Jan Frylinck, who was caught by Shivam Dube off Arshdeep Singh for 22 off 15 balls, leaving Namibia at 33 for 1 in 3.4 overs. Namibia collected 55 runs in the last five overs, keeping the required run rate under 11 an over.
India brought Jasprit Bumrah into the attack at the start of the seventh over in a bid to tighten the screws, with Arshdeep Singh conceding 36 runs but picking up the lone wicket so far. Namibia still need 153 runs from 84 balls to pull off a challenging chase.
