USA Playing XI vs Namibia—ICC T20 World Cup 2026:

Openers: Andries Gous and Saiteja Mukkamala.

Andries Gous and Saiteja Mukkamala will be in charge of opening the innings for the United States cricket team. These two proven batters have already shown their class in the elite tournament. Against Namibia, they will try to play their best to claim a win.

Middle-Order Batters: Monank Patel, Milind Kumar, Shayan Jahangir, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, and Subham Ranjane.

The middle order of the USA team is packed with talent. Monank Patel, Milind Kumar, and Subham Ranjane are some of the key players of the team. If any of these three batters get their rhythm back after a blistering opening knock, the United States can achieve a competitive total on the scoreboard.

Bowlers: Harmeet Singh, Mohammad Mohsin, Shadley van Schalkwyk, and Ali Khan

More than their batting order or bowling order, the USA surprised all. Whether it was India or Pakistan, the bowlers troubled the batters in a significant way. Shadley van Schalkwyk has been a stellar player from the beginning of the tournament. If Ali Khan returns with full fitness, then the bowling attack of the United States can be an absolute clutch.

USA Playing XI: Monank Patel (c/wk), Saiteja Mukkamala, Andries Gous, Milind Kumar, Shayan Jahangir, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Harmeet Singh, Shubham Ranjane, Mohammad Mohsin, Shadley van Schalkwyk, and Ali Khan.

Namibia Playing XI vs USA—T20 World Cup 2026:

Openers: Louren Steenkamp and Jan Frylinck.

An underrated opening combination in this edition's T20 World Cup 2026. Behind the emergence of the team, these two openers have played a massive role. Jan Frylinck, in their opening match of the contest, performed confidently against the Netherlands.

Middle-order: Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (c), JJ Smit, Zane Green (wk), and Dylan Leicher.

Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Captain Gerhard Erasmus, JJ Smit, and Zane Green are the main pillars of the middle order. The USA bowlers can face a hard challenge against these three batters. Loftie-Eaton, Smit, has already got a significant amount of runs.

Bowlers: Ruben Trumpelmann, Willem Myburgh, Bernard Scholtz, and Max Heingo.

The bowling pair of Ruben Trumpelmann and Bernard Scholtz is the main weapon in their bowling arsenal. These two bowlers are not only capable of taking crucial wickets but also can deliver some economic overs to reduce the opposing team's run rate. The most interesting part of the match will be the middle overs of the second innings.
