    T20 WC: Netherlands Seek First Win As Namibia Kickstart Their Group A Campaign

    By IANS News February 09, 2026 • 16:18 PM View: 349
    T20 World Cup Group: After pushing Pakistan to the brink in Colombo, though it didn’t result in an upset win, the Netherlands will test their credentials against a quietly dangerous Namibia in a Men’s T20 World Cup Group A clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.

    The Dutch arrive in India’s national capital with tangible proof they can unsettle higher-ranked opposition. Their spirited performance against 2009 champions Pakistan showed promise but also exposed familiar vulnerabilities. Namibia are opening their tournament campaign, but they will be aware of areas where the Dutch’s weaknesses can be exploited.

    Against Pakistan, skipper Scott Edwards' 37 anchored the innings, while Bas de Leede (30) and Colin Ackermann (20) provided some momentum. But the innings showed a concern area for the Netherlands: the inability to fully capitalise after a decent start. At 105/4 in the 13th over, the Netherlands were positioned for a 160-plus total but lost five wickets for 42 runs as Pakistan's spinners tightened the screws.
