Namibia Record Historic Win, Stun Sri Lanka On Day 1 Of T20 WC
BUMPER OPENING

Jan Frylinck smashed 44 runs and took two wickets as Namibia hammered Asia Cup champions, Sri Lanka, by 55 runs to cause a major upset in the Twenty20 World Cup opener on Sunday.

The left-handed Frylinck and JJ Smit, who made an unbeaten 31, lifted Namibia to 163-7 with their 69-run seventh-wicket stand, after being invited to bat first.

Sri Lanka were then bowled out for 108 in 19 overs with David Wiese, Frylinck, Bernard Scholtz, and Ben Shikongo taking two wickets each in the team's first of three opening-round matches.

The African minnows are on course for a second straight Super 12 place after achieving the feat on their T20 World Cup debut last year in the United Arab Emirates.

Namibia lost their openers inside three overs with returning fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera getting a third wicket ball when Michael van Lingen was caught at deep third-man. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton fell to a brilliant diving catch by wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis after a 12-ball 20.
