T20 World Cup started with surprise 

The curtain has risen on the eighth season of the T20 World Cup. Although a qualifying match, the battle for the World Cup began on Sunday. That again spread thrill and wonder. In the opening match, Namibia created a surprise by defeating mighty Sri Lanka, the champion of the Asia Cup, by a huge margin of 55 runs.

Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka invited Namibia to bat after winning the toss at Symonds Stadium in Geelong. Going to bat first, Namibia went on the back foot due to the quick dismissal of the two openers. However, they overcame the disaster thanks to careful innings by Eaton, Baird, and Erasmus in the middle order.

In the end, however, Fryling and Smith did not care about the Lankan bowlers. At the end of the 20 overs scheduled by the duo, Namibia collected 163 runs after losing 7 wickets. However, as successful as the batsmen are, the team’s bowlers also performed in the match. The Lankans have been defeated.

Chasing 164 runs against a relatively weak side was not difficult for Sri Lanka, who were crowned Asian champions a few days ago. But the Lankan batsmen proved everyone wrong. Apart from Shanaka’s 29 runs, no one else could play an innings worth mentioning. In the end, they lost 10 wickets while scoring 108 runs. With that Namibia landed on the port of victory.

Discussion and criticism are going on in social media around this match. As many congratulated Namibia, many netizens also trolled Asia Cup champion, Sri Lanka.
