Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s HIGHLIGHTS of the T20 World Cup 2024 match between England and Namibia in Antigua on Saturday.

NATIONAL ANTHEMS

The weather has behaved so far and the teams are out for the national anthems. First England’s, followed by Namibia’s.

NAMIBIA PLAYING XI

Nikolaas Davin, Michael van Lingen, Jan Frylinck, JP Kotze, Gerhard Erasmus (c), JJ Smit, David Wiese, Zane Green (wk), Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Jack Brassell.

TOSS

Namibia has won the toss and will bowl first. Two changes for England. Mark Wood and Will Jacks make way for Sam Curran and Chris Jordan.

MINUTES AWAY FROM THE TOSS!

The toss will take place at 1.10 AM IST. Three overs of PowerPlay and three bowlers can bowl a maximum of three overs. A serious lifeline for England.

WE HAVE A MATCH!

And we have a match on our hands. If there is no further rain, the game will start at 1.30 AM IST. It will be an 11-overs-per-side contest. Wow.

COVERS REMOVED

The good news is that the covers are being removed, and the next update is at 1.30 AM IST.

HOPE STILL?

We are minutes away from the next official update, and England will be desperate for some good news.

CURTAILED MATCH

And it’s official that we are now going to start losing overs. Still, the chances of the match even taking place aren’t very high. The next update will be at 12.30 AM IST. The wait continues.

RAINING AGAIN

The rain had relented but it is back again. The cut-off for a five-over game is 2.16 AM IST.

UPDATE 11.30 PM IST

The next official update will be at 11.30 PM IST (2 PM local time). It was absolutely pouring at the venue about 20 minutes ago and we will have to wait and see how the outfield copes with it.

IT’S POURING

And England’s damp campaign only continues to get more damp. It is currently pouring in Antigua and England’s chances of qualifying for Super Eight are getting dimmer.

COVERS ARE ON

Looks like the toss has been delayed in Antigua as the covers come on.
