ICC T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka playing against Namibia at Geelong today

Qualifier rounds of the ICC T20 World Cup are beginning today. In the opening match, Sri Lanka will take on Namibia at Geelong today.

The match will started at 09.30 am Indian Standard Time. After winning the 2022 Asia Cup, Dasun Shanaka-led Srilanka's team is in very good form.

However, on the eve of the first match, they received a huge blow as their left-arm seamer Dilshan Madushanka has been ruled out of the World Cup due to a quadriceps injury.

On the other hand, after making a big impression on their T20 World Cup debut in the UAE and Oman in 2021, Namibia is surging through to the Super 12 stage and even getting a win there.

India will play the warm-up match against Australia tomorrow. The match will start at 9:30 AM Indian Standard Time. The Men in Blue played two unofficial warm-up games against the Western Australia XI, winning one and losing one. India will play arch-rivals Pakistan in their tournament opener on October 23.
