ENG will take on NAM tonight [AP]

A rejuvenated England team will look to outclass Namibia, much like they did against Oman, when the two teams lock horns in an all-important Group B fixture of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on June 15.

ENG vs NAM: Team Previews

England

England face a must-win scenario to avoid elimination from the tournament. Despite trailing Scotland by two points, England's significant victory over Oman bolstered their Net Run Rate (NRR), giving them an edge in the race for the Super Eights. 

England's qualification now hinges on the outcome of Scotland's match against Australia, but Jos Buttler's team remains focused on securing a win against Namibia. 

England made a single change before their victory over Oman, with Reece Topley replacing Chris Jordan. Although Topley didn't take any wicket on Thursday, he bowled impressively, and no changes are expected in the XI for this match.

Namibia

Namibia have been impressive in the tournament [AP]

Namibia’s heavy defeat to Australia dashed their hopes of progressing. Nonetheless, Gerhard Erasmus has been a standout performer for Namibia with his excellent batting, accumulating over 100 runs in the tournament so far. 

The 29-year-old scored 36 runs against Australia, one of the few positives in that match. Ruben Trumpelmann has been Namibia's leading bowler with five wickets in the tournament, though he struggled against Australia's formidable batting lineup. 

Namibia, having started the tournament with a Super Over victory against Oman, have since suffered defeats to Scotland and Australia. Despite these setbacks, they aim to end on a high note against England and are expected to field their strongest side.
