T20 WC: Kishan, Pandya Fifties Take India To 209/9 Despite Erasmus’s Career-best 4-20
T20 World Cup: Blistering half-centuries by Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya took India to 209/9 in their 20 overs in the Group A clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday, despite Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmus claiming career-best figures of 4-20.
Kishan blazed his way to 61 off 24 balls while Pandya contributed 52 off 28 balls, but Erasmus used his unorthodox slingy deliveries to restrict the damage done by the Indian batting line-up on a pitch which gripped a little for the spinners. India raced to 104/1 in just seven overs, with Kishan particularly brutal against the pace bowlers before falling to the first ball of spin from Erasmus.
He and Bernard Scholtz created a stranglehold through the middle overs. Though Pandya fought back with a late fifty, India lost five wickets in the last two overs, and Namibia will be satisfied with pulling things back from a position where India threatened to post a much larger total.
