The Netherlands (NED) and Namibia (NAM) will be up against each other in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in the upcoming Match 10 of the marquee event at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi
, on February 10. This will be the third Group A encounter in the competition.This upcoming encounter will be the Netherlands' second match in the competition after a gruelling battle with Pakistan in Colombo in the tournament opener. The Scott Edwards-led side lost a humdinger of a contest that had gone
to the last over, but the Men in Green ultimately reigned supreme, leading to a disappointment for the Dutchmen.
Namibia, on the other hand, will open their campaign at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. They played a couple of warm-up matches before this, winning the contest against Scotland while suffering a heavy defeat against India A in Bengaluru. Namibia will now look to get their campaign off to a winning start.

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi: Pitch Report
The iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, will host the match, and this will be the first encounter at the venue in the T20 World Cup, 2026. Over the years, the pitch at the stadium has been batting friendly with short boundaries. So, we can expect a run-fest in a fixture between the two associate nations. The only thing that will favour the bowlers will be that the match is being played during the daytime.

OMA vs ZIM: Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Scott Edwards
The Netherlands captain Scott Edwards will be the key batter to watch out for versus Namibia on Tuesday. He has been one of the pillars for the Dutch team and will try and lead from the front to bring his team back to winning ways. The wicketkeeper-batter had a decent outing against Pakistan, too, scoring 37 valuable runs for his team.
Probable Best Bowler: Logan Van Beek
The Netherlands pacer had a horror outing against the Men in Green in their opening encounter, conceding 46 runs, including the horrendous 24-run penultimate over, which tilted the match in Pakistan's favour. After costing his team a win in the opening match, it will be fascinating to see how Logan van Beek comes back against the Namibians.
