SL vs NAM Head-to-Head Matches Records
Sri Lanka and Namibia have played each other in 1 match in the T20 games. Sri Lanka was able to win the match. When Bangladesh hosted in 2014, Sri Lanka was leading the way and was one of the most dangerous cricket-playing nations.
Today, they find themselves on top of the pile too. They were able to beat India by 6 wickets in the previous edition. Last year in 2021, they did well because of exceptional performances from the bowler Wanindu Hasaranga taking 16 wickets; batsman Charith Asalanka hitting 231 runs, and they are getting the most valuable team of the tournament.
SL vs NAM top performer on this venue in T20
Pathum Nissanka is a beauty to watch because, during the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2022, he has scored consistently. They will also depend on their captain, Shanaka, to lead by example. He has massive power-hitting abilities that took his side to the Asia Cup success.
Among the bowlers, it has to be Wanindu Hasaranga taking a hat-trick against South Africa. The leg spinner is ranked high among the ICC Men’s Rankings for T20I Bowlers. There is also Maheesh Theekshana, who took career-best figures of three for 17 against Ireland in only his fifth match.

SL vs NAM ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 dream11 match prediction
Sri Lanka stands a good chance of winning this game. Namibia is a new team, and it will take a few years for them to get used to the format. However, we never know if they can throw up a surprise. In T20, anything goes.
