USA will face Namibia in Match 26 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on February 15 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This is a very important Group-stage match for both the United States and Namibia as they aim to move up the standings. 

USA are going into this match with confidence after a big win in their previous game.
