India gear up to take on Namibia

India will aim to build on their dominant showing in the pool stages when they take on an unpredictable Namibian unit in the quarter-finals of the ICC U-19 World Cup here on Saturday.

India went about their job in clinical fashion beating Ireland, New Zealand and Nepal by big margins in Group D.

However, they cannot afford to take their quarter-final opponents likely as Namibia head into the knock-out phase after showing the exit door to defending champions South Africa.

In other matches, the African nation got the better of Scotland before losing their final league game against Bangladesh to finish second in Group A behind the hosts.

On paper, India possess a formidable unit and should have little difficulty in getting past Namibia.

India captain Ishan Kishan would be pleased to get some runs under his belt in the last game against Nepal after failing in the previous two innings.

He smashed a 40-ball 52 against Nepal in the company of Rishabh Pant, who looks to be in ominous touch. Pant enabled an India win after hammering 78 off 24 balls against Nepal.
