Netherlands won by 7 wickets. Netherlands faced Namibia in Group A of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, starting at 11:00 IST (UTC+5:30). The 41,000-capacity Arun Jaitley Stadium, also known as Feroz Shah Kotla, provided a major-venue backdrop for this match between two Associate nations competing at cricket’s elite level.

Netherlands’ dominant 7-wicket victory was a significant Group A result, consolidating their position in the group standings. Netherlands had entered the tournament fresh from their PSL win over Pakistan in the opening round, making them one of the Associate nations with genuine upset potential. Namibia, a nation of 2.5 million people competing against international cricket sides many times their size, represent one of the sport’s most remarkable development stories.

Netherlands built their squad around players with Dutch connections and diaspora talent. Their bowling attack had shown the ability to take wickets at crucial stages of a T20 innings. Namibia’s cricket journey from African developmental structures to ICC World Cup qualification is a testament to grassroots cricket investment and genuine athletic talent.

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi holds 41,000 spectators and is one of India’s most storied cricket venues, having hosted Test matches since 1948. The Delhi surface assists spin bowling in the middle overs. For Netherlands, performing well on Indian pitches required different techniques than those used on European surfaces.
