SIBY JEYYA
New delhi – In an emphatic performance at the ICC Men’s t20 world cup 2026, Team India recorded a commanding victory over Namibia, creating a new record in the tournament’s history. India’s win at the arun jaitley Stadium was historic on multiple fronts as the defending champions continued their dominant run.

📊 Ten Straight Wins: A New World Record

With their 93‑run victory over Namibia, india became the first team in Men’s t20 world cup history to register 10 consecutive wins in the tournament across editions. The winning streak began during the 2024 t20 world cup — where india achieved eight straight victories en route to the title — and continued with two wins so far in the 2026 edition.

This achievement puts india clear ahead of other teams on the record list, including south africa and Australia, which have eight‑match winning streaks in past tournaments.

🏏 Dominant Performance Against Namibia

India batted first and posted a formidable 209/9 in their 20 overs, driven by explosive half‑centuries from:

Ishan Kishan, who scored a blistering 61 off 24 balls

Hardik Pandya, contributing 52 off 28 deliveries

These innings helped india reach a massive total quickly, with several big hits and aggressive strokeplay.

In response, namibia were restricted to 116 all out in 18.2 overs, with India’s bowlers applying relentless pressure, including a notable 3‑wicket spell from varun Chakravarthy.

💪 Biggest victory by Runs in t20 world cup History

India’s 93‑run win over namibia also marked their largest margin of victory by runs in t20 world cup history. This surpasses India’s previous best of a 90‑run win over england in 2012.

The margin highlights India’s dominant all‑around performance with both bat and ball in the game.

With this historic win, india has taken top position in Group A of the t20 world cup 2026, boosting their chances of progressing to the Super Eight stage. This victory also sets the stage for their high‑profile clash against arch‑rivals Pakistan in Colombo later in the tournament.
