Gerhard Erasmus-led Namibia cricket team will take on Jos Buttler's England in match 34 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, on June 15 (Saturday). This is a must-win game for the former two-time champions in order to qualify for the Super 8 stage. Namibia is already out of the race but would like to end their campaign with a big win. Everyone has their eyes on this clash but is also worried that the rain might play spoilsport. Scotland will be watching this match closely as they would be hoping that Namibia get the better of England in this clash. So they reach the next stage.

The Antigua weather forecast does not have any good news for the fans as it predicts heavy and persistent rain. The precipitation chances go up to 30 percent which can be really bothering for the fans and England team. Earlier, Scotland vs England, Sri Lanka vs Nepal, and USA vs Ireland games were abandoned due to rain as well. Hopefully, this won't be the sight during today's game and the match can proceed and have a result even with a few interruptions. If rain causes a potential washout both teams will have to share a point.
