Dubai, Nov 8: India ended their World Cup on a high with a crushing nine-wicket win over Namibia in the final Super 12 game of the tournament. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin did much of the damage with the ball after Virat Kohli had won the toss in his final match as T20I captain, with the pair taking three wickets apiece to restrict Namibia to 132/8. And half-centuries from Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul helped India reach their target with 28 balls to spare to give departing head coach Ravi Shastri a winning send-off. Both teams knew there was no chance of reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup, with the tournament’s final four already confirmed as Pakistan, England, New Zealand and Australia. But that didn’t prevent a high-quality game in Dubai, with India showing their quality against a Namibia side who have impressed throughout the past three weeks.
