Bengaluru, February 6, 2026 – India A, led by Ayush Badoni, is set to face Namibia in a T20 World Cup warm-up match today at the BCCI Centre of Excellence 1 in Bengaluru. The match is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM IST. This marks India A's second consecutive warm-up game, following their 38-run victory over the United States. Namibia, on the other hand, will be looking to build on their previous win against Scotland.

India A will aim to maintain their winning momentum in this fixture. The team's composition includes a mix of promising batsmen, all-rounders, and bowlers. Key players to watch out for include Narayan Jagadeesan and Urvil Patel as wicket-keepers, and batsmen like Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Ashutosh Sharma and Priyansh Arya. The all-rounders Riyan Parag, Manav Suthar and Ashok Sharma, along with bowlers such as Ravi Bishnoi, Khaleel Ahmed, Mayank Yadav, Gurjapneet Singh, and Vipraj Nigam, add depth to the squad.

Namibia's squad includes experienced players such as Gerhard Erasmus, who captains the side, along with Malan Kruger, Dylan Leicher, Louren Steenkamp, Jan Balt and Bernard Scholtz. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, and Jan Frylinck are also vital components of their team. Zane Green will take charge as the wicket-keeper. The bowling attack will be led by Ruben Trumpelmann, Ben Shikongo, Jack Brassell and Max Heingo.

This warm-up match provides a crucial opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their strategies and assess their player combinations ahead of the T20 World Cup, which commences on February 7. For India A, with Harshit Rana and Washington Sundar doubtful for the main squad, the game is an opportunity to test their bench strength. Pacers will be in focus with Rana's availability in question for the World Cup.

All eyes will be on Bengaluru as both teams lock horns in what promises to be an exciting contest.
