T20 World Cup Namibia vs England: Tips and suggested bets

England can't clinch qualification in their match against Namibia at the T20 World Cup but they can be eliminated from the running for the Super 8s with a defeat or a washout.

Jos Buttler and company will need Australia to beat Scotland on Sunday in order to seal their progression, but will only need to win the match against Namibia and not improve their net run rate.

The weather looks set to play along which should be a relief for England who find themselves on the brink of elimination largely due to a washout of their match against Scotland.

Namibia cannot reach the Super 8s stage and all they have to play for is pride and a single place on their group standings.

Last time out, England hammered Oman to get themselves on the board in terms of wins at the T20 World Cup and must win to draw level on points with Scotland ahead of their neighbour's showdown with Australia which will ultimately determine the fate of the group.

Namibia suffered a demoralizing loss to Australia in their last outing, which has left them unable to secure a place in the next phase of the competition.

 

Namibia vs England suggested bets

Buttler may lead the runscorers for England after two matches but the big threat in this England side is still Phil Salt.

Salt has been in great form recently and England need him to show that in this key fixture.

If you are looking for someone further down the order to make a splash then zero in on Moeen Ali, who can do both rebuild work and finishing if he is required.

England's standout bowler in the tournament so far has been Jofra Archer, at least when it comes to making an impact. Archer gets the big wickets and he gets them often. He can bowl at different times of the innings to great success and is the most likely candidate to take the most wickets.

Ruben Trumpelmann has been the lethal strike bowler for Namibia in the recent past and the angles the left-arm quick creates could give England some problems.

Trumpelmann has five wickets to his name in this tournament and will look to add to that total against England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.

Namibia need Nikolaas Davin to show what he can do if they are to get a shock result against England.

The opener can certainly get Namibia flying out of the blocks and might be the man to top score for his team.
