The T20 World Cup in Australia had a dramatic start as Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka were shocked by Namibia. Inspired by a fine all-round display by Jan Flylinck, Namibia claimed a 55-run win over their celebrated opponents at Kardinia Park in Geelong.
Sri Lanka won the T20 World Cup back in 2014 and have been ever presents in the competition – as befits their standing in the game.
Namibia, though, showed no interest in bowing to status. Coincidentally, the two sides met at the same stage of the same event in Abu Dhabi last year.
Namibia’s win this time around was every bit as comprehensive as the seven-wicket win their opposition had meted out back then.
