00:00India wins! Unbelievable scenes here at the Bunga ring.
00:10The victorious Pakistan team.
00:13Bollywood and his team have won the World 2020 final.
00:17The winners, West Indies.
00:21Sri Lanka, the new champions.
00:24Charles Bradwick, remember the name!
00:29Live the game, love the game.
00:38More men's T20 World Cup action.
00:41We are once again here at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
00:46It's a beautiful facility and this time the one-time champions of Sri Lanka
00:52with Das and Shanika against Namibia.
00:57First-timers in the men's T20 World Cup.
01:04And as the sun goes down, Miki Arthur, who's been around the traps, coaching South Africa and Australia and Pakistan,
01:11we'll be hoping things work in his favour. The toss certainly did and Sri Lanka won it and chose to field first.
01:18So Sri Lanka taking on Namibia here at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
01:25Group A action, Round 1.
01:31Just to reconfirm the points table in this group earlier today, we had Ireland taking on the Netherlands and Ireland getting the better of the Netherlands for the first time in the T20 World Cup.
01:44And they sit at the top of the table with a couple of points.
01:51Just to confirm the teams for you, a number of very talented faces on show for Namibia with Erasmus the captain.
02:02Perhaps technically, some argue their best player, David Vesa, who's played international cricket for South Africa up to around 2016, is making his appearance for Namibia.
02:15Stephen Bard at the top there as well. Solid opening batsman.
02:21And Freilink will have a big part to play. Smith, one of the better players in that line-up as well.
02:28Kusal Pereira, well, we know what he can do when he gets off.
02:32Dennis Chandimal, with all his experience in there, former under-19 player, Abishka Fernando.
02:37And keep your eyes on Dushmanta Shamira, the new ball bowler, and Wenindu Hasaranga.
02:44They can cause some havoc when their rhythm is right.
02:48Here's Chamika Karnaratna.
02:50Bit of movement to start things off.
02:55Black armbands of Ian Bishop.
02:58The sad news of Sri Lanka's first test captain passing away early this morning came through.
03:04There was a moment of silence just before the anthems to show their respect.
03:11Not only was he Sri Lanka's first test captain,
03:15and a mentor to most of Sri Lanka's legends of the last decade, you could say.
03:21Played a massive part in administration as well.
03:27Not only with Sri Lanka cricket, but also with the Asian cricket council.
03:30He'll be solely missed, and our thoughts with his family at this time.
03:34Not only with Sri Lanka.
03:44We haven't seen much of the whiteboard swinging in the last few weeks.
03:49So there's a slip in place a deep square leg and the third man on the boundary.
03:52on the boundary just pushed it in the other direction after a couple of outswingers
04:04a lot of bowlers make that mistake don't they they either look for too much swing
04:09and then they miss the angle that's required this one just holding its line first runs
04:19for Namibia
04:22that is a glorious shot from Stephen Bard 500 runs in t20s for him
04:35that was a cracking shot he gets a good stride in
04:42now don't tell me this month that Chamira proved you wrong that was a good ball that's the line
04:49length you want him to be bowling at this stage it's just that it's such a wonderful shot from
04:54Bard who just leans into it and makes the pace count
04:57high it hasn't got much distance and safely taken one in Nuhasaranga takes the catch one down for
05:12Namibia Sri Lankan flags waving already
05:17Stephen Bard I thought the idea was right try and put the pressure on the bowler the new bowler but
05:34he's threw the shot a little early
05:37Mahesh Dixon on his first ball gets a wicket straight away
05:43Stephen Bard's gone for seven it's ten for one
05:50it's been a good start for Sri Lanka using his feet so nicely what the way to greet
06:04Tikshana at the start of the server and towards the end of the power play I like it they need some
06:10aggression inside the last over of the batting power play so fielding restrictions up after this
06:16ball great use of the feet lovely swing of the bat start to the over getting underneath it powering
06:28it straight up in the air it's a sky and so well taken by the captain Dustin Shanika in the end takes
06:37a good catch it's the second one to fall it's a dangerous battle of Zane green 29 foot those for eight
06:49yes we across the line wasn't it this is the regulation off break one that goes away from
06:55the left-hander looking to take the power away from green does exactly that skipper very comfortable
07:02underneath it hands full of tape
07:03it goes down Zane green gone for eight from 13 so he struggled along a little bit 29 for two
07:14very nicely played by Rasmus waited for it had it very very late it's his first boundary
07:32yeah right this one didn't bounce either but it was the line that was the key to be able to play that
07:39shot sure there was an attempted slider come flipper the line was wrong watched it right onto the middle of
07:52the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle
08:22right on top of that and timed it superbly away through the extra cover region
08:30karana's back into the attack
08:35two good overs early very very impressed with karuna ratna
08:42oh brilliant i think he's a four
08:44tinesh chandimal that was flying
08:52and that has that's actually a short point you'd think that he would have had to take that
08:59it's gone straight through he should he should have caught it was hit hard
09:05our first reaction traveled so quickly i said well done chandibal but that's why replays are so good
09:14what the ambition has joined us as they complete two
09:24yeah you like karuna ratna but i like the other guys lahiru kumara and dushmanta chamira chamira
09:31tonight has been very very impressive upwards of 140 sometimes 145 kilometers per hour 149. i mean
09:40that's seriously impressive he's too late on that as a batter and i think the story really is that
09:45namibia are not accustomed to facing that high velocity that takes some getting accustomed to
09:54but you've got you've got to look after this chamira is a special talent i also think karuna ratna is a
09:59special talent i see him batting at six seven in future on a regular basis
10:03hasaranga can be batting together sri lanka have a big force in that middle
10:10you mentioned players popping up and you say wonderful talent but then it comes down to
10:18your values the approach the attitude you have
10:23that's actually what makes you a better player or a real star
10:26he's had his worries akila dhananjay but he's battled back
10:31but not as effective as he was prior to his troubles with the action
10:37i think he's got enough on that it will go the distance it does
10:41just briefly the fielder that was looking at it almost willing it back it wasn't to be 68 for two
10:56that was a wonderful hit now this is the long boundary takes him on
11:03into the breeze clears it very nicely good into that over
11:1110 off the 12th
11:12right so williams gets a move on he needed to with a wonderful hit
11:31you see the ones that stand out the tall structures that those are only about nine of nine ten eleven
11:35they haven't had a huge over but that's also been compensated by a lot of three four run overs
11:41which is the reason why namibia are only scoring at five and a half and over
11:55we're talking of sri lanka you always remember some moments here's here's a magic moment for you to savor
12:00oh what a bullet he was
12:11another one down
12:12that's gonna be out that's gonna be out that's six far it's six far for a gentleman
12:24right surely fielder's gonna come underneath this he's just gotta wait and gently let the ball come
12:29into his fingers into his hands which he does another wicket goes down
12:4068 for three now and i'm afraid that's the end of a fine innings by erasmus 20 from 19
12:46one innings by erasmus
12:58one into hasaranga takes his second catch
13:03hangs on to it just for a moment i thought it's gonna pop out
13:08nahir kumara wicked for him
13:10the skipper erasmus gone for 20. namibia are 68 for three
13:17oh that'll be close up goes the finger i think there was more laughter than an appeal initially
13:27from hasaranga one more lbw just bowled straight there's a slider a lot of people mistake it for
13:33the leg spinner both a really good slider now they're having a bit of a conversation he's looking good
13:38williams they have now tv umpire to director we have a review for lbw it's a fair delivery can i get a
13:55front on spin vision please
14:02thank you
14:02okay it appears there's no deflection there i'll um i'll go to ultra edge please just to confirm
14:13there's no bat
14:19flat line flat line flat line flat line all the way through to the pad thank you there's no bat
14:27involved so we can get a ball tracking when you're ready
14:32okay just waiting on ball tracking adrian
14:43ball tracking coming up now impact is in line
14:47and hitting the wickets adrian it's three reds you're on camera now stay with your decision
14:53yeah yet another lbw who is just starting to open up as craig williams he's gone for 29 it's 73 for 4.
15:12oh good ball let's come back in up goes the finger
15:15excellent ball from karuna ratna jack back in saw him with the new ball he was getting it to leave
15:23the right hander this one's come back in he's such a good cricketer
15:26so i'm afraid david visa has to go he's not reviewing it
15:34yet another wicket goes down visa for six there's no beginnings today
15:39he's deceptive gets onto a lot quicker than you think now visa's a tall man
15:58so wondering whether he would review it was hitting him on the higher side
16:02he hopes to walk six he's made maybe a 79 for five
16:19giving them any opportunities are they now
16:23no it's been tough going
16:26various phases of the process the power play well that was tricky some good pace
16:32and the sri lankan quicks 30 for two the middle phase 52 for three they need a good finish here
16:38need to have a good death phase these 16 to 20 try and put back to ball try and clear the ropes
16:51not gonna happen for frilink
16:54tixana has been superb this is not the finish namibia needed it's just though what sri
17:01sri lanka would have wanted they are six down now namibia 84 on the board frilink makes just two
17:13yeah cleaned up nice and straight again a little bit of mystery just flicking it out
17:20wrong length not there the sweep gotta get after him unfortunately for frilink not today tixana's been
17:28absolutely marvelous
17:29absolutely marvelous my length gone clean up for two namibia 84 for six
17:34just three overs to go just three overs to go at this rate you're looking at just over 105 so
17:47obviously from schulink his point of view they'll be very happy with that
17:50we saw earlier today that a target of 107 was uh way too easy from ireland's point of view to chase down
18:04that was the netherlands that in the end lost that match very easily it was a good win for ireland
18:09so no maybe i know they've got to get a little move on here in this last three overs
18:18this is a little inside edge there the keeper was interested massive inside edge
18:23who's so always interested a little bit like you overly keen overzealous and appealing yeah
18:38it's been trying that a lot this smith's trying to get under it just hasn't been there timing's not there
18:44well it's difficult trying to pick the wrist spinner first and foremost then you've got to deal with it
18:53especially when your team is up against it nothing to lose now for namibia you vote for your play of
19:01the day of the day what might that be today there's a little reverse it will be his undoing though he
19:11tried the reverse and in the end the finger has gone up he wants to go upstairs though
19:23tv umpire to director we have a review umpire review for
19:26lbw the original decision is out it's a fair delivery can we go to front on spin vision please
19:38front on coming up now
19:43okay got nothing there we'll go to ultra edge to check for any bat or glove on that
19:50ultra edge coming up now looks like it's going under there flat line
19:55going under flat line flat line keep going through to the pad yep just go back a couple of frames
20:03please there yep keep going through now going through yeah that's the pads of the line there
20:12so that's all right we've confirmed there's no bat involved there can we go through to ultra to ball
20:17tracking please
20:21ball tracking coming up now adrian impact is in line and it is umpire's call on the wickets
20:29will be staying with your original decision to make it to you on screen you're on screen now
20:33staying good decision adrian holstock just clipping umpire's call he's got to go short and sweet
20:40enough to eaton's got to go for three lbw hasaranga namibia 90 for seven
20:54little top edge take some catching though
21:01well when indoo hasaranga has been marvelous for sri lanka for the last couple of years tonight
21:07no different in the reverse sweep plum in front
21:14reverse sweep straight in front of all three top class bowling stump to stump always in the game
21:23wonderful cricketer always plays with a smile on his face
21:27sensational fielder useful lower order hitter once again tonight for sri lanka bag of tricks
21:37and again oh that's quite spectacular this looked like it was going to take some catching again
21:45and dustin sharnika has pulled off something special and even the namibian fans are saying yes
21:51that is special absolutely brilliant tough one of course for trumpelman he makes just 193 for 8.
22:07oh
22:09this is a great catch we've got a good catch
22:10again beaten for pace namibian batters all evening have struggled but what a catch
22:16one hand stick your paw out it sticks in beautifully captain fantastic
22:21trumpelman's got to go we only made one namibia 93 for eight
22:25oh nearly nearly tri-lanka have been so good in the field so far that was hit really hard by smith
22:40it does tend to hit the ball hard just an over to go 96 for eight
22:45yeah right out of the screws gets plenty of this disappointed just burst through
22:59he is quite close at cover captain again sharnika
23:03what six balls what have you got in namibia what can you muster when you get 10 12 maybe
23:22the ball's been following tonight listen sharnika
23:27really been following him around an excellent catch not so long ago nearly another one in the
23:33previous server all right six balls to go what is the target going to be for sri lanka
23:41strong offside field
23:45excellent that is exactly what you want at the death of an innings
23:50mario kamara is a very experienced bowler and that is a superb way to start the last over
23:57as the ninth wicket falls namibia with just 96 on the board and piki of france in the end adds just one run from the two balls
24:06145k's perfect yorker a little bit of tail back in absolutely top class
24:19skills execution brilliant from sri lanka piki of france has got to go
24:25and only made one 96 for now but it's skulls is a final better for namibia
24:38brilliantly bold yet again this is excellent from kamara
24:44yeah kamara's being very impressive gold all the good pace and this is a great yorker
24:49that will undo many top order batters let alone a tail end a little bit of tail back in 145 k's
24:59spot on trilanka have been impressive
25:03always got excitable far to shrankens
25:05skates is really struggling he wants to get off strike and this could be the end it looks like
25:16it will be the end and sunk up with the throat
25:23we have a review for a run out please can i see your best side and angle it's a fair delivery so we
25:30don't um thank you fair side on angle thank you yep he's well out i've made my decision you can go to
25:40the big screen that is out
25:46one of the easier decisions for the umpires tonight he was well short of his ground and unfortunately for
25:53namibia he brings the innings to a close with three balls still to go
25:58and they put 96 on the board only they've left a lot of runs out there
26:07excellent for the fans they'd be very very happy with their team's effort it's not been easy from
26:13sri lanka's point of view having to be in this stage of the tournament but look at that difficult to
26:19find it and amibian batter that put up a decent performance and the end william stands out with his
26:2529 but that was of 36 deliveries they were never able to push that net run rate up even past that
26:33six and over mark in the end making 96 all out
26:39live the game love the game
26:41even among those not playing today there's a couple of very fine players here's the first ball
26:52david weiser off the mark is nisanka a couple of very fine players not playing a rate with dhananjai
26:57de silva charit asalanka is a very fine player but they're playing i hope he's all right
27:05playing dinesh chandimal back in the side
27:16and avishka fernando you really want to watch avishka fernando bat
27:20you look at sri lanka and sometimes they go through ups and downs but i don't think there's
27:25ever been a shortage of sureability on that island
27:34by the slip in place now kusal perreira david weiser
27:50adrian holstock 50 30 20 for t20 international for adrian holstock
28:06paul rifle's been around for a long time as well
28:13good looking shot really under no pressure these two
28:17ian bishop joins me good evening ian
28:21hello ashore hello everyone
28:26yeah it's a total that sri lanka will believe that they can chase they want they don't want
28:30to leave room for error another 94 required and to win and win convincingly
28:35against a team in their first t20 world cup
28:40okay time that all right
28:51two about okay not taking the game for granted but also keeping good habits you're chasing this total but
29:00you're looking to be clinical putting away the bad ball putting pressure on the bowlers not taking undue
29:08risk you don't have to say that the kusal perreira he's an aggressive player by instinct
29:15oh he just plays a normal game he'll probably scoring 130 135 anyway
29:22could you see there's a slip in place wonder if there's enough movement there for weiser to bring
29:26that into play two men out are at third and deep backward square
29:38here are the two batsmen one a traditional 45 degree third now we're seeing movement what's
29:53happening we're getting squarely coming in and inside the circle it's gone to sort of
29:59backwards square square square's gone to mid-wicket you've got a sort of backwards square in there
30:15so four singles in the first over for sri lanka four for no loss
30:29and he needs no second invitation as we've been discussing so you want
30:58to pull your length back slightly maybe a yard a yard and a half
31:04which is about 133 didn't move too much came well onto the bat
31:11now through mid-wicket on there's not enough pace
31:16for uh for trompleman that was 135 but these bats when they get into position so quickly
31:20he's a fine player kusal perreira
31:22and the baller will look at that trompleman will look at that and think how short was it that he
31:30played that shot it's arrived at per just above stump high so what do i need to do i need to be
31:37somewhere in between that delivery and the free and the previous delivery what's the length in between
31:42one of the things we saw and this pitch was not used while we've been here covering cricket for a
31:59while but it was at six to eight meter the length was making a comeback in t20 cricket
32:03there was a phase when if you just ball the length you are on hiding to nothing
32:10i said that ball hard it's noticeable that the second man out of the boundary is now a deep mid
32:15wicket apart from the man at deep square
32:19they just sort of pushed him back out there just before that ball so
32:23a little bit of understanding of kusal perreira but the length is just a touch too short again
32:31as opposed to the first ball that was too full
32:41but nisanka now have a rather more traditional square leg and a third on the boundary
32:53go back to those two deliveries we talked about the first one in the slot so it was dealt with
33:14and then the second one a touch too short where you want to be is in the salmon area for young bowlers
33:19so he needs to find that salmon area in between the two deliveries he's under pressure again with a
33:28deep square and deep mid wicket under pressure to kusal perreira he's lost his slip as well not that
33:35there was a lot of movement in the first place 45 is in on the onside two full again but this time
33:43the fielder will get there yes he does the timing was all right this time from kusal perreira it's a
33:51good catch by schmidt had to move a little bit to his right he completes the catch of kusal perreira
34:00just fizzled like a cracker and gone 14 for nola 14 for one
34:11it was again full but the bat came slightly across the line of it that's a good running catch i was
34:16always going away from him
34:24wicket for trumpelman perreira goes for 11 14 for one
34:30one
34:41just drifting to the pads against skulls
34:45yeah well i want to see the wicket again because the first time i saw it i thought it might have been
34:49slight pace off and i think that confirms it loosely out of the fingers and it came out at 116 kilometers
34:57per hour and that's one of the reasons why perreira early into the shot maybe just came across it
35:03slightly still a good catch oh yeah but it was good bowling because harsha boggle as you said the next
35:09ball was 140 kilometers per hour i just started a little slowly i thought with those couple of
35:16boundaries earlier on the trumpelman but he's ended the over well when you see little things like those
35:23you say give him another over i want to see how trumpelman comes back now and bows the next over
35:28having got a wicket already
35:34a chandima made a comeback to the t20 side
35:36one of the issues that uh that chandimal has had in recent time since he's come back
36:03is that he doesn't always get off the mark very quickly he's uh
36:07he's a more sort of build your innings kind of player and that means that if you're using up
36:11deliveries you've got to go and get a big one it also means that you've got to have people around you
36:15who will score quickly i think that that species exists in the sri lankan side
36:26with panando and rajapaksa and dasun shanaka they can all hit a long ball
36:31and that might be close too that might be close it's close enough scholes gets a wicket
36:54missanka is just looking where was the impact that'll be the key
37:09of ball tracking coming up now adrian impact in line and hitting the wickets three red
37:16you'll be staying with your original decision about and you're on screen now
37:19it's a good call by the umpire well done namibia they've got a second wicket here the only question
37:25was did it hit outside the line the moment it didn't then i think nissanka had nowhere to go
37:31at the moment the only place he's going to is the pavilion out for five it's 18 for two
37:35and a good job so far nibian bowlers 21 for one they were shrank at 26 for two
37:54you're an edge there is there an edge there there is just a little one straight through to the keeper
38:06the third goes down now and chandemal who has been struggling is on his way back to the dugout as well
38:16some belief in namibia chandemal goes for five 26 for three
38:24yeah left arm angled across smith
38:28decent scene position chandemal never got going little feather through simple catch
38:33you like them behind the sticks and namibia well they're back in this contest
38:37big big wicket for the eagles chandemal's got to go it was a difficult and he's gone for five
38:46shrank at 26 for three
38:55nicely chip that is a lovely little shimmy down the wicket and a beautiful piece of timing
39:00a beautiful bit of timing there's a little shimmy down
39:13gets down the pitch a little bit flick of the wrist timing excellent
39:18he's a wonderful cricketer he's got plenty of ability
39:21yeah there's a little shimmy down shimmy across really clever batty
39:30at the moment though this is more outstanding bowling he'll get away with this four leg buys
39:38to end the power plate don't know whether they go upstairs
39:42don't think the clock's running out
39:56oh they're gonna go they're gonna go i think he's made the signal and they're going to go upstairs
39:59they took every bit of the 15 seconds view coming up now paul it is pitching outside leg stump
40:06so you'll be staying with your original decision of not out
40:11and again does get that one fine might race away oh yes it does in the end
40:18schultz can't quite catch up with it into the boundary for four
40:24yeah you can see what he's trying to do there bernard schultz just trying to help it on to his
40:28teammate trumpelman who was giving him good support
40:30quite an unusual position he almost has a regulation long leg as if it's a seamer down
40:37leg side he got away won the ball before good commitment from schultz is a good feel they're
40:43normally in the deep change of field long leg inside now
40:50it's gone away over a widest cover into the boundary for four one bounce good power
40:56it'll be a steep learning curve for any young cricketer
41:03this is t20 world cup just too much width a really good shot
41:07manager paxton doesn't try to keep it down just lifts it over with minimal fuss really
41:13good old-fashioned cricket shot good to see a lot of follow-through otherwise it's quite a
41:18abbreviated follow-through oh dear drag down go same place just over
41:22good ball is called here is that because the bails came off or the towel dropped
41:31all rifle the bassman wants it he wants a piece of it rajapaksa not surprised he's been robbed of a
41:36boundary i think his towel just fell off his hip or out of his pocket i just heard in there mike
41:43pistol call dead ball fairly quickly let's have a little look at this yeah it's going it's going
41:53it's gone well one hand he's hit this almost one-handed rajapaksa takes one hand off the
42:00battle and puts it back on
42:01way over midwicket plenty on that rajapaksa picks up another six
42:11well we spoke about it up the pitch report it's only a little clip for a left-hander
42:18not even 70 meters up boundary so this is just a little shimmy down and a flick of the wrist
42:24beautiful bit of timing a nice flurry in the follow-through
42:30left arm finger spinning against left-handed batter you know they're coming after you
42:38all the way in the air chat oh he lost it shots completely lost it i'm not sure whether it was in
42:43the lights or not whether it just swung a bit in the air it's ended up being four
42:48well we just spoke about her frailing might just make something happen it's a drag down it's a
42:57little bit leg side and roger paxter says yeah i'll have a bit of it it's an absolute dolly really but
43:04just losing the lights a little bit of swerve maybe oh yeah
43:08there's a big big miss
43:15more crunched absolutely crunched four more
43:22this game could be over in a hurry here if rajapaksa gets going because that is absolutely smoked
43:30too much width can't give any left-hander with especially a sri lanka left-hander they
43:35thrive on it they sweat on it lovely flurry again
43:46just 29 runs to go for sri lanka to register two points in group a what a way to start for
43:54sri lanka former champions as well
43:5668 for three it is at the moment right now sri lanka you can see are running away with it
44:03maybe never got the momentum they needed all those wickets towards the back end of the innings
44:08really stalled their progress with the bat they tried to build a bit of a foundation which has never
44:14worked out for them and sri lanka are surging ahead
44:18so he's not an easy bowler to get away and he's been in good form with the ball deceptive got a
44:29variety of slow deliveries very good at taking the pace off
44:46what's making the point of the change in the batting order and change in roles and atlee
44:51slunk have been very good in the first six overs a lot of players who open bat at three or good at
45:00taking the field on with the field restrictions
45:03but when the field spread they hardly get the innings going that middle order has struggled and these
45:12two players are making a difference there
45:19scolts was brilliant in the 2019 t20 world cup qualifying it's been a tough day in the field
45:29corner maybe they don't have a lot to defend so it made it even tougher
45:34unfortunately for him he put down a catch as well
45:40here's that change of pace you're talking about school wide though
45:46everyone likes with rajapaksa though he's shown that today he'll need to get the ball away a little
45:54bit better when it's at him but here are his boundaries when there's width he's very very
46:02powerful he's got good wrists he's able to generate a lot of extra power behind every shot
46:11and then again it's always bread and butter if you're bowling on the pads though but at the body
46:17just on off stump it's it's a problem but when he gets going he's very very good to watch
46:27lights throwing his hands through the line he's powerful
46:34one of those players naturally growing up in school picket Sri Lankans are generally identified at that
46:40level rajapaksa was looked at as one of the future stars wow that's gone straight down the ground and
46:50it's a more than long enough superb batty
46:56he's a talent avishka fernando
47:03geez mid-off is in the circle
47:05he targets that area just hitting through the line how good
47:16he keeps impressing me every time that i see him actually surprised me that how well he's adapted to
47:22this number four role
47:34what's the length he's not going to play the previous shot on
47:37the previous ball was just too full especially with the middle of up
47:42i thought we'll see a lot of those shots early in the innings but
47:45the last couple of years has been such that's why sri lanka find themselves here in the qualifiers
48:03in round one correction
48:04yeah they were 26 for three
48:11it was a very different game at that stage
48:15it's pretty obvious that they needed more runs but they gave themselves a little
48:20sniff at the beginning they were fighting but this partnership has been brilliant
48:26just what sri lanka would have needed this will do their confidence the world are good
48:33absolutely brilliant
48:40really banging it in on this occasion trump element that was very short
48:44the bowling was impressive though the sri lankan bowling the pace of light
48:56kumara dushmantha chameera the variety in spin
49:00chameka karnaratna
49:05you can understand why the sri lankan fans have already started dancing it's been a long time
49:09since they really did enjoy their cricket
49:20well dealt with it's been a tough couple of years hasn't it and even from the last
49:26t20 world cup in 2016 for sri lanka this year has been very mixed beating india in sri lanka but
49:33they're losing three nil to south africa and england it's been a pretty tough year from sri lanka's
49:39points view but you mentioned that this team just looks like a team that is together they look happy
49:44they look in a good space much better space yes long way to go they still haven't come up with the
49:51big boys if you may like you mentioned sri lanka beat india to go to identify that they were not at
49:57full strength but they are playing a lot better there's more energy it's more direction
50:05power in the shot but cries of catch it it's going to fall well short
50:16and this looked like they're playing with a bit more freedom
50:19that's all you can hope for and that's something that you can build on
50:33these round one games so very important in building your confidence getting into the tournament
50:39and this is going to fall well short also getting those early cobwebs out of yourself and the pressure
50:48and then it's a cry to have it caught but it's going to fall well short
50:53and sri lanka keep taking it over 91 for three
51:08is
51:10The previous over was an expensive one for 11 runs.
51:40It started out okay from Namibia's point of view, they were at one stage struggling a bit, Sri Lanka, 26 for three, but have a look at what this partnership has done.
51:48The worm has gone well away from what Namibia did, so they're well ahead of what they require.
51:59Required run rate now, nothing to worry about. This will do their net run rate a world of good.
52:05Net run rate could come into it, it's going to hurt Namibia.
52:11It's really been a bit of a one-sided match in the end. It was sort of a tale of two different oppositions coming into this.
52:25They experienced Sri Lanka having won the tournament in 2014. They've made three finals as well.
52:31The only team to do that in 2009. They were undefeated until the final.
52:37They're very experienced in the 2020 World Cups.
52:39And then Namibia coming into this tournament for the very first time, making their debut.
52:46So really two very different oppositions.
52:51Very different from an experienced point of view.
52:53It's nicely put into the gap. Very nicely done. Such a long boundary that it's easy for the fielder to eventually get around.
53:07Getting closer and closer now, those two points.
53:11They will be relieved with those two points.
53:15Getting through from the first round, always a challenge for more fancy teams.
53:20It's a situation where you cannot slip up.
53:24And that comes with a massive weight.
53:26So getting through the first game is so, so important.
53:36Is this the winning runs?
53:38Yes, it is!
53:40It's just gone over the head of Skoltz.
53:43And it's gone for six.
53:45It's more than enough to get them past the target.
53:48Pick up the two points and ensure they've got a very good net run rate.
53:53That of Nisanka, Kusal Pereira, Chandimaal, the three men dismissed.
53:58But then Avishko Fernando and Banukaraja Paksa.
54:0113 not out and 42 not out.
54:03Making sure, no more hiccups.
54:05That Sri Lanka take the points.
54:07They get to 103 with 39 balls remaining.
54:10Really big win from Sri Lanka's point of view.
54:13For Namibia, they tried a few different options.
54:15They had Sri Lanka 26 for three at one stage.
54:18One wicket apiece for Trumpleman, Skoltz and Smut.
54:22But just not enough in the end on the board from a batting perspective.
54:26The bowlers tried really, really hard.
54:29But it just wasn't enough for them to defend in the end.
54:32So Sri Lanka, win by seven wickets.
54:37That is a big margin of victory.
54:3839 balls remaining as well.
54:41And from Namibia's point of view, there's a lot of work to do ahead of the next match.
54:45And not a lot of time to turn things around either.
54:48And not a lot of time to turn things around.
