Batting became the villain of Sri Lanka’s defeat
Sri Lanka suffered a humiliating defeat in the first match of the T20 World Cup against Namibia. At the same time, the biggest villain of the Sri Lankan team’s defeat in this match was his batting. In fact, not a single batsman of the Sri Lankan team, who came out to chase the target of 164 runs, could not bat and the whole team was all out for just 108 runs.

Captain Shanaka looked disappointed after the loss
On the other hand, Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka on the humiliating defeat to Namibia said that we do not need to do anything special to win. Shanaka said that losing wickets in the powerplay was the reason for the match. Shanaka said after the match, “We could not bowl well. We didn’t bowl in the right areas, that’s a matter of concern. When a team loses three wickets in the powerplay, it is out of the game.” He said, “The plan should always be simple. We don’t need to do anything special. We have good team. Its just a matter of process. When we are chasing 160, we need some partnerships. The openers need to perform well.
