Match 42 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 has Namibia (NAM) taking on India (IND) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Monday.
Team India, after Afghanistan's loss to New Zealand on Sunday, are out of the running for a semi-final spot. However, they will be keen to end what has been a dismal campaign with a big win over Namibia, who have impressed with their performances since the qualifier rounds. While they boast quality all-rounders in David Wiese and JJ Smit, Namibia will head into the game as underdogs, with Virat Kohli eager to sign off as India's T20I captain on the right note.

Today’s IND vs NAM Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant has been India's enforcer in the middle overs with a strike rate of over 130 in this T20 World Cup. Although the net run rate is not an issue for India any more, Pant's ability to score quick runs against spin makes him a good addition to your IND vs NAM Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Gerhard Erasmus: Gerhard Erasmus is one of Namibia's best batters, with the Namibian captain coming up with handy knocks in the middle order. Although Erasmus has been impressive with the bat, he will be keen to end his campaign with a big knock, making him one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
JJ Smit: JJ Smit has flown under the radar courtesy of David Wiese's stellar performances with both the bat and ball. Smit is one of the best all-rounders on the Associate Nations circuit and given his bowling prowess, he should come up with a good performance against the Indians.
Bowler
Jasprit Bumrah: Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been their go-to bowler in this T20 World Cup, although the wickets column might suggest otherwise. His ability to stifle batters with his accuracy and pin-point yorkers makes him a brilliant addition to your IND vs NAM Dream11 fantasy team and should ideally pick up a wicket or two in this much-awaited clash.
