T20 World Cup 2022, Sri Lanka vs Namibia HIGHLIGHTS: NAM beats SL for stunning 55-run win in first match in Group A

The Hindu  

PREVIEW A confident Sri Lanka opens the Twenty20 World Cup on Sunday fresh from being crowned Asian champion, but faces negotiating a tricky preliminary round to join the big guns in the main draw. Despite 2014 champions Sri Lanka failing to automatically qualify for the Super 12, skipper Dasun Shanaka believes they can go far after beating India and Pakistan on their way to winning the Asia Cup last month. “Qualifiers will really help because we will play in the conditions before the main tournament happens, so it will be good for us.” They must first get past an experienced Namibia led by Gerhard Erasmus, who is hoping for more big performances from talisman David Wiese and paceman Ruben Trumpelmann, both of whom played key roles last year. - AFP SQUADS Sri Lanka Squad: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Pramod Madushan, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madushanka, Dushmantha Chameera, Jeffrey Vandersay, Lahiru Kumara, Charith Asalanka Namibia Squad: Stephan Baard, David Wiese, Gerhard Erasmus, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, Jan Frylinck, Pikky Ya France, Zane Green, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Tangeni Lungameni, Ben Shikongo, Michael van Lingen, Lohandre Louwrens, Karl Birkenstock, Divan la Cock
