Team India end their 2021 ICC T20 World Cup campaign on a good note as they beat Namibia in their last Group 2 match with consummate ease by 9 wickets at the Dubai International Stadium. In what was a dead rubber game for both the teams, Team India were handed a target of 133- which they chased down with 4.4 Overs to spare, riding on convincing half-centuries each from Rohit Sharma (56 off 37) and KL Rahul (54* off 36).
India’s premier all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja bagged his second ‘Player of the tournament’ award in the ongoing T20 World Cup. He yet again impressed one and all and returned with bowling figures of 4-0-16-3. He along with off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (4-0-20-3) were instrumental in restricting the Namibian total to 132/8 in their 20 Overs.
