SL VS NAM - 4th Match, Group A, ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2021

So that rounds off the first double-header from Group A. Two one-sided games set up by exceptional bowling performances from Ireland first and then Sri Lanka, getting their respective campaigns off to a flier. We had Curtis Campher make history, taking four wickets in four balls in the afternoon game, before Sri Lanka thumped newcomers Namibia. That's all from us for now. Back tomorrow. Until then it's goodbye.

Shanaka, Sri Lanka captain: We were planning quite a lot. Want to get through this qualifying stage. All went well for us. He's been outstanding (Theekshana). Back home he's been training with Ajantha Mendis. Has a lot more to offer. They've been outstanding the last few months (pacers). It is the most important thing. Earlier they had pace but no execution. Going forward you can see good things for them. Winning all 3 matches will give us a good state of mind because we (will) know the conditions and everything.

Erasmus, Namibia captain: Have to take the positives from what we can. Have to regroup. Two important games coming up. Sri Lanka have a quality bowling attack. I guess with 96 on the board - the batsmen have to come to the party. He's (Trumpelmann) always ready to bowl fast. Delighted for him to get a wicket. It's a great way to put our brand out there, and inspire the kids to play on the world stage.

Maheesh Theekshana: I am really happy to represent my country. It is a huge moment for me as I'm only 21 years old. Off-break (is my stock ball). The last game I played here I was Man of the Match, it is a lucky ground for me. I love to represent my country in more games. My plan is to take it game by game.

21:05 Local Time, 17:05 GMT, 22:35 IST: Sri Lanka get home comfortably. A brief hiccup at the start of the chase when they slipped to 26/3, but Rajapaksa came out and took control of things while Avishka Fernando kept good company. Namibia just didn't have anywhere near enough to make a match out of it. Sri Lanka's bowling attack, led by the spin duo of Theekshana and Hasaranga, was too skillful for them. Let's hear from Theekshana who's been named Player of the Match.
