Howdy Stackers!!

India vs Canada match went as per expectations - a washout to be precise. It was irrelevant except Indian batsmen could have knocked the ball a bit around. Group A is already set with USA and India both are into the super 8s.

As for other groups, it stands with seven league stage matches to go, two Super 8s spots up for grabs and four teams are vying for it. One of those spots will be sealed after the two upcoming games. The equation for the defending champions is to win today and hope that their arch rivals - Australia - prevail against Scotland. Any other result(s) will see Scotland progressing to the next round. On that note, hello and a warm welcome to Game 34. It's Namibia vs England in Antigua.

It's raining heavily there! It's a new normal in Cricket.

Same pitch that was used for the England-Oman game. We haven't had that strong breeze today. Dimensions are the same - 59m and 69m square, 75m down the ground. This was a good cricket pitch - it offered pace and bounce for the quick bowlers and turn for the spinners. Not a blade of grass on this surface. Once again, Adil Rashid is going to be a difficult proposition. He is going to enjoy this surface.

A record win against Oman has, to a great extent, put England's fate back in their hands. As long as group toppers Australia can manage to stay unbeaten, for their own good, England's massive NRR jump - from -1.8 before the match to +3.08 - has ensured they also only need a win against an already-eliminated Namibia to make it through to Super 8s.

The defending champions were tested thoroughly in their rained-out tournament opener against Scotland, before allowing Australia to plunder this World Cup's only 200 score thus far. After that wobbly start to their campaign, England put on a clinical all-round show against Oman to bundle them out for a lowly 47 and then chase it down in under 20 balls.

In contrast, Namibia, their opponents on Sunday, picked up a Super Over win against Oman but lost steam against the tougher competition. However with their own fate on the line, England will know better than to take Gerhard Erasmus's side lightly.

England's NRR currently is well above second-placed Scotland's 2.16, and they seek only a W to progress unless, the following day, the neighbours can conjure up some magic to add another chapter to this World Cup of early upsets.
