The upcoming T20 match between England and Namibia in the World Cup is currently facing a delayed start due to heavy rain in Antigua. Despite the covers being on the pitch, the groundsman assures that the game will go ahead once the rain stops. Meanwhile, patches of blue sky can be seen between the clouds, giving hope for a game to be played soon.
In recent news, India’s match against Canada in Florida was washed out, marking the third consecutive abandonment at the Lauderhill ground. With England already facing a potential elimination from the tournament if their match against Namibia is affected by the rain, fans are eagerly awaiting news of play starting at 6pm BST.
For Namibia, this match presents an opportunity to make an impact against England for the first time in a T20 format. Although they are already out of contention for qualification, they are determined to leave a lasting impression on their opponents and fans alike. The forecast predicts thundery showers and a gentle breeze, raising concerns about how it might affect play.
