Hello and a warm welcome to the 42nd and the final game of the group stages in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup where India will go up against Namibia. A disappointing season for India will come to an end as they have failed to qualify for the semi finals. Despite winning their last two matches with big margins, India had to rely on Afghanistan to do some favour but expectations were too high on them. This is also the first time that India have failed to qualify for the semi-finals of an ICC tournament under Virat Kohli's captaincy. Namibia though with just a solitary win failed to compete with the big boys.
