India vs Namibia Live Score | Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch report

The pitch in Delhi is known to provide a balance between the bat and the ball. The bounce and carry has improved, making it easier for batters to hit through the line. Dew might also play a big role as the match progresses.

India vs Namibia Live Score | Namibia win the toss and opt to bowl first

India vs Namibia Live Score | Here's what Namibia captain Gerald Erasmus said after winning the toss

"We are going to have a bowl. It is a very good flat cricketing surface, from a surface and dew point of view it is the right thing to do. It is about tightening our skillset. Looks like a good wicket, try and chase it in the second half. That's why we play cricket, to entertain. We have two changes," Erasmus said.

India vs Namibia Live Score | Here's what India skipper Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss

"We were looking to bat first. Very happy with it. As long as we are losing the toss and winning the game, we are fine with it. Dew is going to be a big factor, but when you go out and defend totals, it gives you confidence. Abhishek is still not fine, he will miss a game or two. Sanju comes in, similar batter, explosive. Bumrah comes in for Siraj," said Yadav.
