 Associate team putting a full time 'talented' test nation's fielding and catching to complete shame. Not dropping a single catch and stopping boundaries very well. Now going to thrash the Asia cup winners handsomely.

We have a big upset in the first match itself. Great start to the tournament.

Excellent from Namibia. Took some skiers with ease. Incredible fielding and throws from deep. Get a feeling that some of their players have played in South Africa systems for long time. Their styles are quite similar.

Great work by Nam. 

 

Excited to see Srl in our group, hoping that WI also ends up in our group. 

 

Every match will carry a lot of importance.

Can't rule out that SL fancies their chances in this group than in group 1 so doing a deliberate choke here. 

They have always done some very smart things like sending someone else for toss to avoid captain getting banned.

Sl have a habit of not starting tournaments well tbh. their Asia cup opener was a disaster too. Not been a good couple of days for them though with the way the women also capitulated yday.

People are jumping the gun a bit here.. 

 

Sri Lanka's NRR is going to take a big hit today, so if Netherlands beats Namibia, things could get interesting. Sri Lanka may just get eliminated..
