T20 WC: ‘You Can’t Control Toss, You Just Play The Game,’ Says Erasmus After Loss Against USA
T20 World Cup: Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus accepted that losing the toss and failing to show enough intent in the chase proved costly as they suffered a 31-run defeat in their third match of the T20 World Cup 2026, played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
USA posted a strong total of 199 after opting to bat first, riding on a crucial opening partnership and a late flourish from their middle order. In reply, Namibia were restricted to 168/6 in 20 overs despite a fifty by Louren Steenkamp.
“I thought it was a nice wicket. It turned out to be a really good scoring wicket. But we would have liked to also bat first and put some pressure on the ball. Unfortunately, it didn't go our way. I think that's the way it goes. You can't really control tosses, but you just play the game,” Erasmus said after the match.
