3 reasons for Namibia’s defeat
- Bowlers could not create pressure after powerplay Namibia’s fast bowlers had given two shocks to England in the powerplay. Jos Buttler and Phil Salt were out and the English team’s score was only 18 runs in 3 overs of the powerplay, but the Namibian bowlers could not maintain the pressure after the powerplay and the English team managed to recover.
- Lack of experience in last overs, gave 40 runs in 2 overs Namibia’s bowlers lacked experience. The middle bowlers could not bowl as per the field and kept losing runs. The team spent 40 runs in the last 2 overs. In this way England managed to score 122 runs.
- luck didn’t favor me The Namibian team was unlucky during the match, as rain came after the 8th over of the English innings and due to the DSL method, the target was increased from 122 runs to 127.
- Slow start in run chase, scored only 18 runs in powerplay Namibia, which was chasing the target of 127 runs, had a slow start. The team’s openers could score only 18 runs in 3 overs of powerplay, which was not enough.
Understand the equations of Group-8 from 2 questions…
1. Is Namibia out of the Super-8 race?
Yes, Namibia is out of the race for Super-8, because the team has been able to achieve only one win in its 4 matches. In such a situation, the team has only 2 points. In this group, Australia, England and Scotland have more points than Namibia.
2. Has England reached Super-8 with the win?
Not yet, but the English team has strengthened its claim. Currently the team has been able to score only 5 points with 2 wins out of 4, Scotland also has the same number of points, but England’s run rate is better. Despite this, the English team will have to wait for the result of the last league match of Group B to reach the Super-8, because the Scottish team can reach the Super-8 by defeating Australia. In such a situation, the English team will support its rival Australia.
