Namibia vs England Preview

England simply must win this game and to be fair, they should have little trouble doing so. However, if Scotland cause a major upset against Australia, England will be out of the World Cup.

Head-to-Head

These two sides have never previously met in T20I cricket.

Namibia Form

After starting their World Cup campaign with a Super Over win over Oman, Namibia lost their next match to Scotland by five wickets before Australia crushed them by nine wickets.

Gerhard Erasmus was the only Namibian to get the measure of the Australian bowlers, scoring 36 as his side collapsed to 72 all out.

Australia powered their way to the win in under six overs for the loss of just one wicket.

Namibia Team News

Namibia need to improve their batting as well as their bowling and might look to make some changes to their squad.

England Form

Knowing they needed a big win over Oman to boost their Net Run Rate, England demolished them mercilessly to win by eight wickets.

England bowled Oman out for 47, with Jofra Archer and Mark Wood each picking up three wickets, while Adil Rashid picked off the tail to end with figures of 4/11.

England smashed from ball one and completed the win off 3.1 overs, Buttler top-scoring with 24 off just eight balls.

England Team News

England have found good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Namibia v England

I am backing England to win. I am also backing Jos Buttler to top score for England.

Gerhard Erasmus is a good bet to top score for the Namibia.
