Defending champions England aim to maintain their T20 World Cup hopes as they face Namibia on Saturday. The team, led by Ben Stokes, remains in contention after a significant victory over Oman. England's net run rate improvement now places them strategically, although they need a win and hope for a Scottish loss against Australia to advance.

The Stokes-led side, buoyed by their recent eight-wicket triumph over Oman, demonstrated a powerful resurgence. England's bowlers decimated Oman, dismissing them for a mere 47 runs, setting a record with 101 balls to spare.

With a current net run rate of +3.08, surpassing Scotland's +2.16, England looks ahead confidently. Nevertheless, Stokes acknowledges the critical nature of the upcoming match against Namibia. He emphasized the team's unity and the pivotal role of their bowlers, including Adil Rashid and pacers Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, in driving their campaign forward.
