T20 World Cup, Group A

He is 0-15 from his first two overs but, knowing his elite mentality, he will want to get a wicket at some point in this match.
Could this be the over? His first three balls go for a total of two runs.
Jasprit Bumrah opts for the yorker and it almost brings a wicket. It comes off Ruben Trumpelmann's pads and rolls towards Axar Patel at backward point, but he just couldn't gather it up in time to put a throw towards the stumps.
India are still firmly on top. Nevertheless, Namibia have clocked up 100 runs now.
Axar Patel completes another brilliant set, taking one wicket and restricting Namibia to just six runs.
It was all looking so positive for Namibia but India's quality is shining through now.
It will just be a case of how quickly they can finish this match off now... Jasprit Bumrah is back with the ball in hand.
It was a fair while ago, but this is how the first Namibia wicket fell...

If anybody needs any coaching on how to make a simple catch look like a blinder, Jasprit Bumrah is your man.
Kruger c Bumrah b Patel 5 (Nam 94-6)
Image source, Getty ImagesJasprit Bumrah can bowl, but he can also catch! Sublime.
That was a really great pick, especially after slightly misjudging it whilst it was in the air.
This is exactly why the crowd were calling for Jasprit Bumrah's services!
Another solid over from the 32-year-old, who sees his first two overs go for a mere 11 runs.
That's why he is one of the world's best bowlers.
Varun Chakravarthy has been sensational today - as he so often is!
Jasprit Bumrah is back with ball in hand.
The pace bowler starts his latest set off with three dot balls, racking up nine dot balls in a row now.
That's a wicket-maiden from Axar Patel.
India piling the pressure on Namibia now.

Axar, after being hit for a couple of slog-sweep sixes, adjusted his line and has got his man.
Erasmus b Patel 18 (Nam 88-5)
Axar Patel gets his payback after seeing a few of his balls sent for six!
That's more like it from the slow left-arm bowler, who dismisses another threat in Gerhard Erasmus.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
That's not the kind of shot to play against Chakravarthy when you don't know which way the ball is turning. Just give yourself time and assess the conditions. That was a high-risk shot.
Smit b Chakravarthy 0 (Nam 86-4)
That's now two wickets in three balls for Varun Chakravarthy.
It's the googly that does the trick this time too as JJ Smit goes for the slog-sweep but misses it.
The India leg-spinner is single-handedly dismantling the Namibia batting line-up here.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Varun Chakravarthy is the hardest bowler to go after - as a batter you never know what is coming.
Loftie-Eaton b Chakravarthy 13 (Nam 86-3)
That's another wicket for Varun Chakravarthy!
Axar Patel runs in from long off and cushions a simple catch to dismiss big hitter Nicol Loftie-Eaton.
An important wicket at a crucial time.

Namibia don't even need to win this game - even if they can get to 180, it gives them the belief they can compete against the big sides. Suddenly, with another year, they start winning games like this.
Who wants another worm update?

That is brilliant, Gerhard Erasmus!
The captain steps up to the plate and unleashes a gigantic 82-metre six with a slog sweep. That's his second of the evening.
He is leading by example.
An important opening over for Varun Chakravarthy.
The leg-spin bowler takes one wicket and keeps the batters quiet with four dot balls.
Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus comes in after Louren Steenkamp's dismissal, let's see if he can continue his heroics.
