Karunaratne's bowling action looks a lot like Mo Shami

 

[Aritro]

Do Ireland have any big hitters to come?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Theekshana castles Campher with a 100 kph yorker...but it was the flicker ball that deceived the batsman.

 

[Aritro]

It's been an excellent bowling performance.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's been an excellent bowling performance.

This bowling lineup is well-balanced and lethal. Pace like fyah...and they have the slow bowlers who are more than a handful.

Yea SL have assembled a solid bowling attack for this tournament

Which is annoying. Don't the players realise all their on-field success only serve to paper over the gigantic cracks in their administration?

 

[Prince EWS]

Player catches the ball inside while touching the ropes...and the announcer guy blurts out that it's a big six lol

Huuuge.

With the winner of the match between Namibia and Ireland guaranteed to join Sri Lanka in the Super 12s with the loser set to join Netherlands on the way out. And for both teams, the progress is immense.

It is the knockout before the knockouts - Namibia vs Ireland


Namibia vs. Ireland - Head to Head T20 Stats

Ireland have not qualified for the main draw of a T20 World Cup since 2012, and have been particularly poor in the shortest format. Their inconsistency belies their status as a Full Member - as a contrast, Afghanistan, who were awarded that status at the same time as Ireland, are automatically in the Super 12s - and failure to progress will likely result in serious introspection. Although they are ranked seven places above Namibia, victory is anything but certain for them against a plucky side who have already punched above their weight.

Namibia have already made history at this tournament. Their victory over Netherlands was their first at a World Cup, and all indications are that they will not be satisfied with that. Namibia reacted to their blow-out against Sri Lanka with embarrassment and came back to chase their highest successful target in the format against Netherlands. Although they have already done more than any Namibian side at a World Cup, they will aim to go one step further.

Something Exciting like never ever is happening in this edition of the T20 World Cup! - It's all about numbers at the cricket world cup - as runs start pouring in, a biggest campaign just takes off!

With over 50,000 digital outdoor screens enveloping 18-countries into one-single global campaign, this is the biggest campaign the outdoor advertising industry has ever seen!

The two missed run outs off of the same delivery during Ireland's innings were pretty special.
