Namibia will look to extend their meteoric rise in the world of cricket when they come across Sri Lanka, who will be brimming with confidence after their Asia Cup victory last month.
Round one will begin with a bang as the first of 45 games will pit Group A favourites, Sri Lanka, against Namibia, a team with solid ambitions of making it to the Super 12 stage.
The two teams are set to compete on Sunday against one another at a significant competition for second time. In the previous T20 World Cup, Namibia and Sri Lanka were drawn into the same group and faced off in their first game.
Gerhard Erasmus and his team won't be remembering this match with fondness because Sri Lanka comprehensively overpowered them; Namibia was bowled out for 96, and the Lankans finished off the chase with seven wickets and more than six overs to spare.
