Behrendorff has previously represented the Chennai Super Kings in 2021, Mumbai Indians in 2018 and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022. The left-arm quick has played 9 T20Is, picking 7 wickets with the best bowling performance of 4/21
Fernando who has played nine T20Is was named as a replacement after Madushanka was ruled out due to a torn quad muscle. Fernando will travel out from Sri Lanka and join the rest of the squad in Australia.
Shanaka led-side is coming into the match with heavy momentum, having downed Pakistan to win Asia Cup 2022. On the other hand, Namibia is not a side to be taken for granted either as they have won five of their eight T20Is this year
