The Sri Lankan cricket team got off to a shocker in their opening T20 World Cup 2022 match against Namibia, losing the contest by a whopping 55 runs. The Lankans were taken by surprise by Namibia in the match who were better in all departments of the game. While the result did leave many fans surprised, Sri Lanka didn't look like themselves and failed to live up to the 'Asian Champions' tag. An incident from the match sums up the same.

Cold Weather A Worry For Sri Lanka, Namibia At T20 World Cup

Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus expressed concern Saturday about the cold weather in Australia, but insisted the African nation could set the Twenty20 World Cup on fire by upsetting Sri Lanka in the tournament opener. Temperatures at Geelong, where the global showpiece starts on Sunday, have been hovering around 16 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit) and plunging to as low as four in the evening. That is nippy for a Namibian side more used to balmy weather at home this time of year, and Erasmus admitted it was a shock to the system.
