Sri Lanka's T20 World Cup campaign suffered a disastrous start on Sunday as the former champions crashed to a 55-run loss against plucky Namibia in Geelong.

“When we’re chasing 160 we need (the top order) to kick in. We’ve got a good team but it’s all about the process. With a heavy South African flavour in their coaching, Namibia have been the big improvers among the second-tier sides and will back themselves to make another trip to the Super 12s.

Although the tournament proper starts on Saturday, 22 October, the likes of West Indies, Sri Lanka, Ireland and Zimbabwe will play in the group stage to determine the four sides that will qualify for the Super 12 phase of the competition. New Zealand fell at the final hurdle last year when they lost to Australia in a thrilling title decider in Dubai. Of four T20 series played in 2022 as of early October, the team has only won one. “With the nucleus of that squad retained … “Ben Stokes is someone we want to try to give as much opportunity to impact the game as possible,” said England captain Jos Buttler. However, the 2010 champions of this spectacle come into the tournament in indifferent form. Additionally, the adrenaline and fast-paced nature of tournament cricket can upset form. Skipper Aaron Finch has been backed to defend the title. With home support, the batting unit can easily discover its quality, to complement an electric bowling unit. The powerhouse has headed into previous ICC tournaments in blistering form, only to fail to live up to its very high standards by bombing out. Only the West Indies, with two titles (2012 and 2016) have won the biennial tournament more than once before. However, the team’s batting unit has not been firing recently.

The tournament CEO Michelle Enright talks about the challenges of putting the tournament on two years later than planned due to Covid.

"We are really fortunate the borders are open and crowd restrictions have lifted," Enright said. "We have about one-third back from the women's event. "No one knew what was going to happen, so we just kept planning for the men's event. "Covid was emerging and coming up in our daily briefing, but we were really focused on delivering the women's event," Enright said. "It was really, really, difficult to make staff redundant," Enright said with numbers having since been rebuilt to 82. "There was great momentum after the women's final, which was a huge uplift for women's sport.

Scotland claimed one of the greatest wins in their history, upsetting the odds at the T20 World Cup as they beat West Indies by 42 runs at Hobart.

Windies opener Kyle Mayers bludgeoned three fours and a six and contributed all 20 of his side’s runs before thumping to the leg-side sweeper, although Lewis and Brandon King seemed to settle quickly.

George Munsey’s unbeaten 66 off 53 balls underpinned Scotland’s 160 for five after they lost the toss, with important cameos from Calum MacLeod (23 off 14) and Chris Greaves (16 not out off 11).

Munsey, named man of the match, stood firm and attempted to rebuild with Berrington, who got a good start but fell on 16 off Joseph. Munsey, a left-handed batsman, and Michael Jones got Scotland off to a flier as they raced to 52 in 5.3 overs when rain interrupted play. Left-arm spinner Mark Watt led the bowling charge to bundle out West Indies, winners of the title in 2012 and 2016, for 118 in 18.3 overs.

Stand-in captain, Keshav Maharaj, was happy with team's sustained intensity in the warm-up game.
