Namibia vs England, 34th Match, Group B - Live

When: Saturday, June 15, at 5 PM GMT | 1 PM Local

Where: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua

What to expect: The wicket in Antigua this World Cup has been kinder to pacers (21 wickets) than spinners (11 wickets). All three games here have been won by chasing sides. Add to that a slight chance of rainfall before the official start-time, and the captain winning the toss should have no hesitation in opting to field first to make the most of the conditions.

Teams Watch

England

Injuries/Unavailability: At the risk of sounding complacent, England might be tempted to rest Jofra Archer for a game, given the quick turnaround. Sam Curran, who is yet to feature in this World Cup, might get a shot against Namibia.

Probable XI: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran/Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Reece Topley

Namibia

Injuries/Unavailability: Out of the qualification race, Namibia may want to give Dylan Leicher a chance who is yet to play a World Cup game for the country.

Probable XI: Nikolaas Davin, Michael van Lingen, Jan Frylinck, Gerhard Erasmus (c), JJ Smit, Zane Green (wk), David Wiese, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Jack Brassell/Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungmeni

Did you know?

- England and Namibia have never faced each other previously in T20Is

- Moeen Ali needs only one wicket to register 50 in T20Is, whereas Erasmus is three away from the same milestone.
