T20 World Cup 2024: England's strongest predicted playing XI against Namibia, Match 34

Namibia and England face off in Match 34 of the 2024 T20 World Cup, marking the final group stage game for both teams. Namibia are out of contention for a top-two finish, while England need a victory and a loss for Scotland against Australia to advance. This match will be held at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, on Saturday, June 15, starting at 10.30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time).

Namibia's confidence is likely shaken after a heavy defeat to Australia, losing by nine wickets with 86 balls remaining. They may struggle again against England's formidable bowling lineup.

England entered their last game against Oman needing to overcome a significant net run rate deficit to Scotland. Following their substantial win, they are now in a much better position and are anticipated to deliver another commanding performance in this match.

Here is England's strongest predicted XI against Namibia:

Openers: Jos Buttler and Phil Salt

Buttler and Salt, following their explosive start against Australia and Oman are entering this match with confidence from highly successful IPL 2024 campaigns, having scored 359 and 435 runs respectively. They are eager to ignite England's innings with another stellar performance.

Middle-order: Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, and Harry Brook

This formidable trio is keen to accelerate their performance after disappointing outings against Australia and Oman. With Bairstow relieved from wicketkeeping duties, he is poised to deliver with renewed vigor, unburdened by additional responsibilities or fatigue. Crucial overs of off-spin from Jacks during the powerplay or middle phase will be advantageous for England. Brook's prowess and potential are already well known.

All-rounders: Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, and Chris Jordan

Among the most dynamic and versatile all-rounders in the tournament, Livingstone, Moeen, and Jordan are adept at launching fierce counter-attacks. Livingstone's leg-spin and Moeen's off-spin provide a balanced and effective bowling combination, while Jordan's fielding prowess is outstanding.

Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Adil Rashid

Despite high economy rates in the recent games, Wood and Rashid are eager to improve their performances, while Archer, having been economical, is also looking to enhance his impact.
