Be that as it may, Namibia, which is positioned fourteenth in the ICC rankings, staggered recently delegated Asia Cup victors and 2014 heroes, Sri Lanka by 55 runs in the competition opener. Yet, what turned into the greater argument after the match was what this shock rout for Sri Lanka could mean for Rohit Sharma-drove Group India in this World Cup.
