England will play their final group stage match of the T20 World Cup in 2024 against Namibia on June 15. They were kept alive by their strange victory over Oman in their last game, but it puts them at risk of getting into the next round.
Oman made history by being dismissed for just 47 runs; thereafter, it took only 3.1 overs for England to chase down 47 and win by nine wickets. Nevertheless, even if they defeat Namibia, they won’t make the Super 8.
Only if Australia defeats Scotland the following day would it occur. In the Super Over, Namibia had defeated Oman to begin their campaign. Then, they were defeated by five wickets by Scotland, and in their final encounter, they were defeated by nine wickets by Australia, folding for 72.

Details: ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Match 33, England vs Namibia
Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua
Date and Time: 15 June, 10.30 PM IST
England vs Namibia Head-to-Head Record:
England and Namibia have never played in Twenty20 internationals. They did, however, clash once in an ODI match in 2003. The Three Lions won that match, beating Namibia by a margin of 55 runs. Given their previous meeting and changing team chemistry, fans are excited to see how this new format fight plays out.
England vs Namibia Pitch Report:
The pitch in Antigua has been fantastic up until now. Most crucially, the chasing teams have won all three games so far at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. It is one of only a few locations in the tournament that has benefited batters. A high-scoring game appears to be in the cards.
