ARMED with solid self-belief, minnows Namibia have opened the T20<\/span>\u00a0World<\/span>\u00a0Cup<\/span>\u00a0with a stunning 55-run upset thrashing of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The Namibians silenced the boisterous, pro-Sri Lankan crowd with an outstanding all-round performance yesterday (Sunday, October 16) at Geelong’s Kardinia Park.<\/p>\n

It comes after they were one of the stories of last year’s\u00a0World<\/span>\u00a0Cup<\/span>, winning through to the Super 12 stage in their debut appearance.<\/p>\n

Namibia are in the box seat to do it again after they outclassed their opposition on Sunday, only a month after Sri Lanka won the Asia\u00a0Cup<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Jan Frylinck and JJ Smit batted them back into the match with a mighty seventh-wicket stand, Namibia defended their 7-163 with great bowling and fielding to dismiss Sri Lanka for 108 from 19 overs.<\/p>\n

Initially, Frylinck reflected the incredulity of just about everyone in cricket when he accepted his man of the match award.<\/p>\n

“I’m a little bit speechless … what we just achieved is above what we thought we could do,” said Frylinck, who also took two wickets.<\/p>\n

But captain Gerhard Erasmus later spoke of a much stronger confidence as they compete at the\u00a0World<\/span>\u00a0Cup<\/span>\u00a0for the second time.<\/p>\n

“There was more hype and childish belief last year … this year, it was more something of we’ve played at the level and we can now mentally relate to that level,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We can physically and skilfully relate to that level – we’ve played India and Pakistan, all these teams before.<\/p>\n

“We went onto the field on an equal footing.”<\/p>\n

As disciplined as Namibia were, Sri Lanka were terrible.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka won the toss and when\u00a0off-spinner Maheesh Theekshana had David Wiese caught behind for a golden duck, Namibia were in major strife at 6-93 from 14.2 overs.<\/p>\n

But Frylinck and Smit turned the match with a big-hitting stand of 70 from 34 balls as the Sri Lankan attack lost its way.<\/p>\n

Frylinck was run out on the last delivery of the innings and top-scored with 44 from 28 balls, while Smit hit two sixes and two fours in his unbeaten 31 from 16 deliveries.<\/p>\n

\"\"
There was lots of support for Sri Lanka in the stands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Namibia’s rally rolled into the start of the Sri Lankan innings, with 22-year-old fast bowler Ben Shikongo on a hat-trick in the fourth over.<\/p>\n

He dismissed opener Pathum Nissanka and then Danushka Gunathilaka in his double-wicket maiden over to have Sri Lanka reeling at 3-21, a hole from which they could never recover.<\/p>\n

Shikongo, Wiese and Bernard Scholtz also took two wickets apiece.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka’s poor day started badly when promising young left-arm paceman Dilshan Madushanka was ruled out of the tournament with a torn quaad .<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has a torn quad muscle and Binura Fernando, who did not play on Sunday, has taken his place in their\u00a0Cup<\/span>\u00a0squad.<\/p>\n

Captain Dasun Shanaka called for calm, with Sri Lanka now needing wins over the UAE and the Netherlands in their group to progress.<\/p>\n

“We have a good team, but it’s about the process.<\/p>\n

“There’s nothing to worry about – it’s the first game … we are a better team than this, especially when it comes to the bowling.”<\/p>\n

In yesterday’s other game at Kardinia Park, The Netherlands hung on to beat UAE by three wickets with just one ball left.<\/p>\n

Melbourne-raised captain Scott Edwards hit the winning run as the Dutch reached 7-112 in reply to the UAE’s 8-112 from their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

While Edwards scored a crucial 16no from 19 balls to see the Dutch home after their late stumble, his counterpart CP Rizwan was left rueing a dreadful dropped catch.<\/p>\n

Junaid Siddique had taken two wickets in the 14th over to leave the Netherlands reeling at 6-76.<\/p>\n

Tim Pringle was yet to score in the same over when he skied the easiest of chances to Rizwan at mid-off, who somehow grassed it.<\/p>\n

Pringle then made 15 in a crucial seventh-wicket stand of 27 with Edwards.<\/p>\n

Zaheer Farid bowled Pringle in the second-last over, but Logan van Beek combined with Edwards to steer the Dutch home.<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely heartbreaking – we put our heart and soul into it, but we could have grabbed those chances – mine, I must say, I could have grabbed that,” Rizwan said post-match.<\/p>\n

“It would have made a difference.’<\/p>\n

The Dutch were cruising at 2-59 in the ninth over, but steadily lost wickets and did not hit a boundary after the eighth over.<\/p>\n

The UAE ultimately helped them by consistently bleeding runs as well making a couple of fielding errors, headlined by Rizwan’s dropped catch.<\/p>\n

“It was always a little bit nervy until the end, but just relief we got over the line,” Edwards said.<\/p>\n

“I’m still struggling to process it … getting the tournament underway with a win, which is the most important thing.”<\/p>\n

Dutch opener Max O’Dowd top-scored with 23 and Junaid went so close to being the match-winner with 3-24 from four overs.<\/p>\n

The UAE won the toss and with opener Muhammad Waseem pacing their innings, had reached 2-91 at the end of the 16th over.<\/p>\n

But Muhammada slogged Fred Klaassen and Tim Pringle took a well-judged catch at long on to dismiss him for 41 off 47 balls.<\/p>\n

From there the UAE innings fell apart – they lost their last six wickets for only 20 as man of the match Bas de Leede took three wickets in the 19th over.<\/p>\n

With one ball left, Aayan Khan was dismissed for five and he tripped over the boundary rope on the way back to the dressing room, summing up the UAE’s innings.<\/p>\n

This is the UAE’s second\u00a0T20<\/span>\u00a0World<\/span>\u00a0Cup<\/span>\u00a0after they debuted in 2014 and they are winless after four matches over the two tournaments.<\/p>\n
