In the T20 World Cup 2024 match between Namibia and England, Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmus won the toss and chose to bowl first against Jos Buttler’s England. The match, taking place at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, has been reduced to 11 overs due to rain.
Namibia has struggled in the tournament and will be looking to end on a positive note by thwarting England’s progression in the group stage. Meanwhile, England, who had a slow start in the tournament, bounced back with a remarkable win over Oman, chasing down a 48-run target in just 19 balls.
