India A vs Namibia, ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Warm-Up Match: Toss Update
India A won the toss and elected to bat first against Namibia. As it was just a warm-up match and not an official one, hence both teams could use their entire squad for both batting and bowling throughout. However, only 11 batters could bat in an innings, which could be anyone from the 15-member squad, and bowling teams could use as many options as they have in the entire squad.
