A Super 12 Round defeat was perhaps the most anticipated outcome for Sri Lanka at the men’s Twenty20 World Cup 2022, yet a loss against Namibia along with the inability to beat any of the bigger nations, will see this tournament go down as one where the team failed to live up to expectations as a group.

After winning the Asia Cup, Sri Lanka were expected to finish off the dark horses in the 2022 T20 World Cup. But in the Super 12, they had to bow out of the tournament after losing three of their five matches.
