England's defense of the T20 World Cup 2024 title lived on for a few more hours after a must-win over Namibia in a rain-affected match on Saturday.
To reach the Super Eight, England first had to beat Namibia in their maiden T20 matchup. Persistent showers almost ruined the chance, but the match started three hours late and was reduced to 11 overs, then 10 overs after another heavy shower.
