Namibia will have their last chance for victory this weekend; however, the result they got is 2 points per match which is not enough to proceed. Namibia goes into this match having been on the losing end in their previous two matches against Australia and Scotland.
In this game of football, England has to ensure a victory to advance to the next round, failure to which they will be out of competition. Namibia is due to face England on Saturday and despite the absence of some key players England can still field a strong eleven. Therefore, we are siding with Jos Buttler here since his team is believed to emerge victorious at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
