India vs Namibia, 18th Match, Group A, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Ben Shikongo to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, Hardik almost trying to console the bowler after hitting this yorker to the boundary. It's outside off, he opens the face and slices it through point. Shikongo is watching in disbelief and Hardik pats him while running across

Ben Shikongo to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, deep in the crease again, the ball is very full and Hardik hammers it straight back over the bowler's head. Not much elevation but it travels to the boundary like a rocket

Ben Shikongo to Hardik Pandya, SIX, he wasn't able to get under the length off the first two balls, but Shikongo misses the yorker by a long way this time. It's right in the slot, Hardik is standing deep in the crease, leans back further and smokes it down the ground

Ben Shikongo to Shivam Dube, 1 run, full toss on the wide line outside off, Dube reaches out and mistimes it through the covers

Ben Shikongo to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, full outside off, again Hardik can't get under it, mistimes the lofted shot on the bounce to long-off

Ben Shikongo to Hardik Pandya, no run, misses the yorker by a few inches but it's full enough. Hardik can't get under it as he drives to extra cover

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, fullish delivery, right in the slot but Ishan went too hard on the big shot, lost his shape and dragged it to deep mid-wicket

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, no run, back of a length angled across, seemed to be pace off, Ishan chops the pull to the left of Shikongo

Ben Shikongo to Tilak Varma, 1 run, charges down and converts it into a full pitcher, pushes firmly to mid-on and keeps running. Completes the single easily

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, very full delivery around off, Ishan squeezes the drive to mid-on and the pair cross over comfortably

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, that's a gift which Ishan accepts happily. Half volley on the pads, Ishan does not have to do much, he uses his bottom hand and whips it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and over the rope

Ben Shikongo to Tilak Varma, 1 run, direct hit would have been close for Ishan. Fullish delivery close to off, Tilak guides it straight to short third and Ishan calls for a quick single. He sprints across but would have struggled if the throw was on target

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Louren Steenkamp!! Gone! Shikongo has the last say. Samson started well but fails to capitalise. It is nothing but a cameo from him. But credit to Shikongo - he kept his nerve and slipped in the slower ball. Rolled his fingers across the ball and took pace off, Samson is deceived and through the flick early, chips it tamely to deep mid-wicket and Steenkamp stays low to take the catch. Sanju Samson c Louren Steenkamp b Ben Shikongo 22(8) [4s-1 6s-3]

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, FOUR, 6, 6, 4! Shikongo is being taken apart. He overcorrects his line and length - full and outside off, right in the arc, Samson goes back in the crease and lofts it over extra cover. That pinged off the middle and rocketed to the fence..

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, SIX, he's dealing in sixes. Three in a row. Once again wrong line from Shikongo. 122.6ks short of length around leg, that's a hit-me delivery and Samson does not miss out, he helps it along and sends it a mile into the stands

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, SIX, back to back sixes for Samson. Too straight from Shikongo - back of a length on middle and leg, it was the angle which allowed Samson to play that shot - whips the pull backward of square and sends it sailing into the crowd

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, 126.8ks fraction short around off, Ishan stands tall and cracks it to deep backward point

Ben Shikongo to Ishan Kishan, no run, full pitcher outside off, Ishan drives and picks out cover-point
