T20 WC: Bas De Leede Guides Netherlands To 7-wicket Over Namibia
T20 World Cup: Fast-bowling all-rounder Bas de Leede stepped up to hit an unbeaten 72 as the Netherlands registered a commanding seven-wicket win over Namibia in a Group A clash of 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
The chase of 157 was set up smartly by the Netherlands, as de Leede became the first player from his country to score a fifty and take two wickets, which previously stalled Namibia’s charge, in the same T20 World Cup match.
His unbeaten 72 came off 48 balls, laced with five fours and four sixes at a strike-rate of 150, helped the Netherlands reach home with two overs to spare. Batting with intent and authority, de Leede muscled the ball to all parts of the ground, mixing clean hitting with calculated placement, and never allowed Namibia’s bowlers to settle down.
