T20 World Cup 2022: Namibia Squash SL In Opening Encounter; Win By 55 Runs

T20 World Cup 2022: Sri Lanka’s T20 World Cup campaign got off to a terrible start on Sunday in Geelong as the previous champions were defeated by tenacious Namibia by a score of 55 runs.

In front of tens of thousands of eager fans on a sunny afternoon at Kardinia Park, Sri Lanka, the Asia Cup champions, had intended to make an early statement against the African associate team.

Instead, Namibia celebrated their best-ever international victory, coming off a ‘Super 12’ run at the last World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

The 2014 champions Sri Lanka, who were dismissed for 108 while chasing 164, handing over a comprehensive 55-run victory to Namibia, cannot afford any mistakes in their upcoming qualifying games against the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday and the Netherlands on Thursday.
