England Advances to Super Eights After Crucial Win Over Namibia

England has advanced to the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup after a crucial 41-run victory over Namibia in a rain-affected match in Antigua. Harry Brook's unbeaten 47 off 20 balls helped England post a competitive 122-5 in a game reduced to 10 overs per side. Namibia, who were set a revised target of 126 under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, fell short, managing only 84-3. England's qualification was confirmed following Australia's win over Scotland in St Lucia, which saw them leapfrog Scotland based on net run-rate. Namibia’s David Wiese, in his final international appearance, contributed a quick 27 off 12 balls but couldn't secure the win for his team. This victory and subsequent Australian success ensured England’s place in the next round, keeping their title defense hopes alive.
