Performance Impairment and New GoalPOSTED ON 

May 28, 2018, REVISED: 

Rain delays are inevitable occurrences in the sporting world but are often frowned upon due to the interference that they cause with scheduled and promised sporting events.

This match was first scheduled to start three hours and twenty minutes late due to rain and was later interrupted by another rain shower which contributed to the early end of the match. 

In a match with a reduced overs of 10, England, who opted to bat first settled for a total of 122/5. 

Namibia was given a revised target of 126 runs in the DLS method for Anguiano’s side to chase in their 10 overs, but they only scored 84-3.

Early Struggles for England

The English start went bad for they had lost three wickets for just 78 runs on board. For more, the team lost the run-machine Jos Buttler for a duck and the young opener Phil Salt also departed soon at the team score of 13-2. But Jonny Bairstow and Harry Brook took over the match that Set 3 changed.

An act can be a Rescue Act; here Bairstow and Brook dealt with its essence Advertisement Bairstow and Brook’s Rescue Act.

Jonny Bairstow surged to a 31 off 18 to give England a much-needed start and Harry Brook followed up with 47 off 20 not out to offset England’s disaster. Their violent hitting plus the Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone help them set a target that would be competitive.

Namibia’s Chase Falls Short

Namibia found it difficult in chase due to england bowling and that factor of the set run rate. Namibia failed to reach the target Yuvi Singh put up good figures of 33 off 29 balls and David Wiese 27 off 12 balls.

Unless change is effected soon, the road ahead for England will not be a happy one, and the problems are unlikely to disappear on their own.

Admittedly, sometimes I just stayed on pause, waiting for the next episode of Scotland vs Australia.

This meant that the Scots “ousted” by England were level on points with the English. But their chances of proceeding to the tournament’s knockout round depended on the other match, Scotland against Australia. This was the scenario in the match where England required Scotland to lose and ensure its place in the Super 8 stage.

Captain’s Remarks

In these two victories, Jos Buttler, England’s wicketkeeper-batsman and stand-in captain, breathed a sigh of relief, As for weather conditions, he stated that there were some difficulties, but they appreciated the team’s. 

Activity: I like that he mentioned the weather and the fact that yes there is some problem but it was good to see that the team was not lazy.

Conclusion

Namibia: England up to speed in T20 World Cup 2024 Sure, England’s victory over Namibia may have been rather comfortable and were expected to advance through the rounds in the tournament. 

Though some disruptions were included in the match such as bad weather conditions in the middle of the game, the team’s spirit did not fade out but still has hope of progressing to the next level of the tournament depending on the outcome of the Scotland and Australia match.
