Instead, it was Namibia soaking up their finest international win a year after storming into the Super 12s at the last World Cup in the United Arab Emirates . “I’m a little speechless at the moment, what we’ve just achieved is above what we thought we could do,” said Frylinck. “Now I’m just very excited. Myself and JJ [Smit] got us to a competitive total and the bowlers just stepped up and it was unbelievable.”
Sri Lanka will have to pick themselves up without the services of left-arm fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka, who was ruled out of the tournament with a quadriceps muscle tear in a huge blow. He was replaced in the squad by Binura Fernando.
