England will take on Namibia in their final group stage game of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup. The match is set to be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua, on Saturday, June 15.
England are yet to qualify for the Super Eights phase and therefore, this is a must-win game for the defending champions. They are third in Group B and a win in this match will take their tally to five points, equalising Scotland's points.
It does not end there as England will also have to rely on Australia to beat Scotland on Sunday, June 15, in order for them to stay ahead in Net Run Rate (NRR).
