Defending champions England outclassed Namibia in a rain-marred Group B match of the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup to jump back into the Super Eights reckoning. 

The outcome marked England’s second win in succession this tournament as they soared past Scotland in the Group B points table.

Here’s the timeline of how ENG vs NAM panned out in Antigua:


ENG vs NAM Highlights: England Lose Openers In 2.1 Overs

In a rain-curtailed 10-over contest, England lost captain and opening batter Jos Buttler for a four-ball duck in just the second over to a full-length nip-backer from Namibian pacer Ruben Trumpelmann.

Buttler’s opening partner Phil Salt flogged two boundaries to get going only to have his momentum hampered at 11 by all-rounder David Wiese. In the three-over mandatory powerplay, England scored just 18 runs at the expense of two wickets in their must-win game.


ENG vs NAM Highlights: Jonny Bairstow Bashes 18-Ball 31 To Set The Tone

Repairing England’s faltering start, number three batter Jonny Bairstow launched three boundaries and a couple of huge sixes to score 31 runs from 18 balls. 

Sharing a 56-run partnership for the third wicket with Harry Brook, Bairstow’s blitzkrieg took England past the 50-run mark and set the tone for a big total after the team’s opening misery.


ENG vs NAM Highlights: Harry Brook Smacks 47* As ENG Make 53 Off Three Overs

Harry Brook top-scored in the English innings with 47 unbeaten runs from just 20 balls.

Brook’s knock, coupled with fiery cameos from Moeen Ali (16 off six balls) and Liam Livingstone (13 off four balls) ensured England made 53 runs from the final three overs to post a 122-run total.


ENG vs NAM Highlights: Namibia Relinquish Big Chase With 44 From First Six Overs

Chasing a DLS target of 126, Namibia, without losing a wicket, scored just 18 runs from the three-over opening powerplay.

Openers Michael van Lingen and Nikolaas Davin listed 26 runs from the subsequent three overs until the latter retired himself out.


ENG vs NAM Highlights: Archer, Jordan Take A Wicket Each As ENG Claims Big Win

England fast bowlers Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan both claimed a wicket each, getting rid of David Wiese (27 off 12 balls) and Michael van Lingen (33 off 29 balls), respectively, in the death overs.

Namibia eventually finished at 84-3 to fall 41 runs short of the target.

The win helped England sustain their Super Eight hopes alive as they levelled up with Scotland in terms of number of wins on the 2024 T20 World Cup Group B points table.
