The 34th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 will see England (ENG) squaring off against Namibia (NAM) at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Saturday, June 15. Ahead of this exciting match, here's all you need to know about the ENG vs NAM Dream11 Prediction, today's playing 11s, fantasy cricket tips, best player picks and the pitch report.
England have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Super 8. For that, they first need to win today's match by a big margin and then pray that Australia beats Scotland by a big margin. They won their last match against Oman by eight wickets, with 16.5 overs remaining. Namibia, on the other hand, are out of the tournament as they have won only one win in their last three matches. This will be their last match so they will try to end with a win to exit with their heads high.
These two squads have their head-to-head at zero and never played a match against each other. So, this will be a good match to watch.
