T20 World Cup will start tomorrow with the match between Sri Lanka and Namibia. Sri Lanka is the current champions of the Asia Cup T20.
They played the first match of that tournament and ended on the losing side. But still, they went on to win the Asia Cup title. Now to qualify for the super 12s, the Lankan Tigers need to bamboozle the Namibians.
Sri Lanka is the champion of the 2014 edition, which was played in Bangladesh under the captaincy of Lasith Malinga.
Dasun Shanaka has been a good captain for Sri Lanka. He turned things around after Sri Lanka lost their first match of the Asia Cup 2022. They also defeated India in the super 4 round and Pakistan in the finals.
Like always, their all-rounders like Wanindu Hasaranga, and Dasun Shanaka alongside, Maheesh Theekshana will be their wild cards for this game. The batters will highly on confident after what has happened in the Asia Cup 2022.
Bhanuka Rajpaksa and Charith Asalanka hold the key in the middle overs. While Karunaratne and Chameera are the experienced players in their squad, which help them to start the tournament with a win.
Stephan Baard, Lo-handre Louwrens, Gerhard Erasmus, Divan la Cock, JJ Smit, David Wiese, Zane Green, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Michael van Lingen, Ben Shikongo.
Namibians will face a tough challenge to face Lankan Tigers. But what they can do is certainly put up a fight in front of these T20I giants.
Namibia needs to play spin bowling well as Hasaranga and Theekshana are wonderful spinners who can pick wickets at regular intervals. They shouldn’t gift their wickets away to them.
That will help them to score against the pacers, especially in the powerplay overs and backend overs. While bowling the pacers need to strike early when Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka open the innings for Sri Lanka.
Namibians also need to bowl well in the death overs because from the powerplay overs and last few overs, the Lankan batters can take the game away from them.
The pitch in Geelong is tailor-made for the batters and they can score runs quite freely. Win the toss and set a huge score on the board.
