T20 World Cup 2024: England’s Super 8 chances hang in the balance as rain delays game
Will England qualify for Super Eights? Rain might give an answer today.
England’s chances of making it to the Super 8s are hanging by a thread as heavy rain delays the start of their crucial match against Namibia. With Australia already qualified from their group, there is one open spot left. Scotland is in second place with 5 points from 3 games, while England is in third with 3 points.

England has a positive net run rate of over 3, which is better than Scotland’s. To qualify, England needs to win against Namibia and then hope that Australia defeats Scotland in their final clash. This would allow England to move to the second spot and secure Super 8 qualification. However, if the rain persists and the match against Namibia is abandoned, England will remain in third place, and Scotland will advance to the Super 8s without needing to worry about their last game against Australia.
After a lackluster start to their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, can England rally and secure their spot in the Super 8s? They need a win against Namibia and some help from Australia to keep their hopes alive.
