T20 WC: Netravalkar Returns As USA Opt To Bat Against Namibia
T20 World Cup: USA have won the toss and opted to bat against Namibia in their final group stage match of the T20 World Cup 2026 here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
The USA has made one change to the team as Saurabh Netravalkar comes back in place of Nosthush Keninge. While Dylan Leicher and Willem Myburgh come in place of Malan Kruger and Ben Shikongo in Namibia's line up.
After winning the toss, USA skipper Monank Patel said, "We're going to bat first. It's a very different pitch compared to the Netherlands game, so it's a red soil, and we did really well against the Netherlands batting first, so we want to continue the same momentum and make sure we put up a good score. We have one change. Saurabh comes in to play for Nosthush. I feel like it's a better pitch than what we played against the Netherlands, so I think it should be a good even bounce, and later on, coming up, we expect some more."
