England vs Namibia Live Score Updates: ICC T20 World Cup, Match 34

England vs Namibia will clash in the highly anticipated 34th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua on Saturday, June 15.

England (Team News)

England will be confident with a record win against Oman has. As long as group toppers Australia can manage to stay unbeaten, for their own good, England’s massive NRR jump – from -1.8 before the match to +3.08 – has ensured they also only need a win against an already-eliminated Namibia to make it through to Super 8s.

The defending champions were tested thoroughly in their rained-out tournament opener against Scotland, before allowing Australia to plunder this World Cup’s only 200 score thus far. After that wobbly start to their campaign, England put on a clinical all-round show against Oman to bundle them out for a lowly 47 and then chase it down in under 20 balls.

Namibia (Team News) 

In contrast, Namibia, their opponents on Sunday, picked up a Super Over win against Oman but lost steam against tougher competition. However, with their own fate on the line, England will know better than to take Gerhard Erasmus’s side lightly.

England’s NRR currently is well above second-placed Scotland’s 2.16, and they seek only a win to progress unless, the following day, the neighbours can conjure up some magic to add another chapter to this World Cup of early upsets.

Pitch Report: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua

The wicket in Antigua this World Cup has been kinder to pacers (21 wickets) than spinners (11 wickets). All three games here have been won by chasing sides. Add to that a slight chance of rainfall before the official start-time, and the captain winning the toss should have no hesitation in opting to field first to make the most of the conditions.
