Shadley van Schalkwyk continued his excellent form by picking up two crucial wickets, helping the USA restrict Namibia to 168/6 in 20 overs while chasing a target of 200 runs. This performance on Sunday (15) led the USA to a dominant 31-run victory in their last T20 World Cup 2026 group stage match at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium.

This marks the USA’s second consecutive win in the tournament, keeping their hopes alive for reaching the Super 8 stage. However, the USA will need either India or Pakistan to lose both of their remaining group stage matches by significant margin.
