Get ready for an electrifying battle between Namibia and England in the ongoing 9th edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 tomorrow. This match will be the fourth match for both the teams, which will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua. It will be interesting to see which team will emerge victorious in tomorrow’s game as it will be a must-win game for both teams after Australia becomes the first team from Group B to qualify in the Super 8’s, all the eyes will be on the second spot having a competition between 3 teams Scotland, England and Namibia. However, England and Scotland still have a chance to reach in the Super 8 as Namibia have got just 2 points in 3 games and tomorrow’s game will be the last game for the Namibian nation.
