The boys are very confident," Shanaka said at the toss.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We got the same combination that we had in the Asia Cup. With the bowling we have, we'd look to restrict them to a decent score."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmus said he would have also fielded had he won the toss. His side are looking to repeat last year's feat of making the Super 12 on their T20 World Cup debut.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Both captains would have liked to bowl first. The unknown factor of exactly how the wicket will play and a bit of overhead conditions," said Erasmus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The teams will each play three first-round matches in their attempt to make the Super 12 stage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"It's three games, three games of your life. You need to be on top from the start. If we can start well with the bat, put some pressure on them, that'll go a long way into making it a very tight game."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><b>Namibia: </b>Stephan Baard, David Wiese, Gerhard Erasmus (capt), Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, Jan Frylinck, Zane Green (wk), Divan la Cock, Michael van Lingen, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><b>Sri Lanka:</b> Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Dhananjaya de Silva, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka (capt), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Pramod Madushan, Maheesh Theekshana</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Umpires: Joel Wilson (WIS), Rod Tucker (AUS)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">TV Umpire: Paul Reiffel (AUS)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Match Referee: Andy Pycroft (ZIM) : AFP</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">bnbd24/kh</div>
