- This will be the first meeting between India and Namibia in men's T20Is and just their second meeting overall in men's international cricket after India logged a 181-run win over Namibia in February 2003 (ODI).
- India have won both of their only two previous men's T20I encounters with non-Test playing nations by margins of nine and eight wickets, including a win over Scotland earlier in this ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021.
- Namibia come into this game on the back of a three-game losing streak in men's T20Is; their longest ever losing run in the format and as many defeats as they had added to their record in their 17 games prior (W14, L3).
- Namibia have won one of their six prior encounters with Test-playing nations in men's T20Is (L5), losing their last three such fixtures in succession.
- India has a batting strike rate of 142.1 during the power play at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021, the highest of any team in the competition; Namibia (89.7) have the third-lowest strike rate in this period.
- Namibia have pitched 2.9% of their total deliveries on a short length during the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021, the second-highest rate of any team in the competition behind New Zealand (3.5%).
- Rishabh Pant (India) has hit a six once every five balls faced against pace bowling at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021, the most frequent of any player to have faced at least 20 pace deliveries at the tournament.
- David Wiese (Namibia) has a batting average of 65 across his last six T20I innings; although, he has had a dot ball rate above 40% in his last three innings after finishing his three innings prior with a rate below 40%.
- India's Rohit Sharma (2,982) is 18 runs away from becoming the third player to register 3,000 runs in men's T20Is (Virat Kohli, Martin Guptill); he's reached that mark in five of his last nine T20I innings, including his last two.
- Gerhard Erasmus (Namibia) has scored 35 runs from cut shots during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021, the second-most of any player in the competition behind Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim (41).
