Today T20 World Cup match ENG vs NAM: Dream11 prediction, match details, head to head stats, key players, full squad, pitch report, ground history and fantasy insights

NEW DELHI: England, the defending champions, are determined to secure a convincing victory against Namibia on Saturday to maintain their chances of advancing to the T20 World Cup Super Eight stage. Despite a washout against Scotland and a defeat to Australia, England bounced back impressively with an eight-wicket triumph over Oman.
England's comprehensive win over Oman, dismissing them for a mere 47 runs and chasing down the target in just 3.1 overs, has significantly boosted their net run rate (NRR) to +3.08, surpassing Scotland's +2.16.
However, with Scotland currently on five points compared to England's three, the former two-time champions must defeat Namibia to draw level with Scotland and hope for an Australian victory over the Scots. In this scenario, England's superior NRR would secure their place in the Super Eight stage.
Nonetheless, an upset win by Scotland over Australia or a washout at Gros Islet would eliminate England from the tournament.

Captain Jos Buttler exuded confidence following their resounding victory over Oman, stating, "I've been around long enough to know how it works. We know what's going on in the dressing room. We have lots of confidence in our team and we have another huge match to come."
The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium pitch has offered steep bounce and turn, which England's bowlers, such as leg-spinner Adil Rashid (4/11) and the pace duo of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood (both 3/12), exploited effectively to dismiss Oman for the fourth-lowest total in T20 World Cup history.
Buttler will be hoping to win the toss once more to unleash his bowlers against the relatively inexperienced Namibian side, who were bowled out for just 72 in their previous encounter with Australia.

ENG vs NAM fantasy insights
Based on the pitch report, England is expected to dominate their upcoming clash. If England bowls first, consider selecting two or three of their powerplay bowlers for your fantasy XI. If England bats first, middle-order batters from their team could be great Captain or Vice-Captain options.
ENG vs NAM key players:
1. Jonny Bairstow: The hard-hitting English middle-order batsman, had a challenging outing against Australia in the previous match. However, he showcased promising form during the recently concluded IPL 2024. Bairstow will be eager to rediscover his touch and contribute significantly to his team's comeback efforts.
2. Jofra Archer: The English pace spearhead, is expected to lead the bowling attack with the new ball. Given the assistance that bowlers have received from the pitch and Archer's raw pace, the combination could prove to be a formidable challenge for the Namibian batsmen. As such, Archer presents an excellent choice for the C or VC role in fantasy contests.
3. Adil Rashid: The English leg-spinner, found his rhythm in the previous game against Oman. With his confidence restored, Rashid could be a valuable asset for fantasy teams, potentially delivering substantial returns.
