In the T20 World Cup 2024, the match played between Australia and Namibia in Group B at Antigua ended within 23 overs. In this match, the Australian team playing under the captaincy of Mitchell Marsh was completely dominated, in which, bowling first, they bundled out the Namibia team for just 72 runs in 17 overs. After this, they achieved this target in 5.4 overs at the loss of just 1 wicket and also confirmed their place for the Super 8. For Australia, the amazing bowling of leg-spinner Adam Zampa was seen in this match, who took a total of 4 wickets giving just 12 runs in his 4 overs.
Second biggest win by the difference of balls in the history of T20 World Cup
The Australian team achieved the target of 73 runs in this match in just 34 balls, thereby achieving the second biggest victory in the history of T20 World Cup by difference of balls. The first in this case is the match played between Sri Lanka and Netherlands in 2014 in which the Sri Lankan team won the match 90 balls earlier. While chasing the target from Australia, David Warner scored 20 runs in 8 balls, while Travis Head scored an unbeaten 34 off 17 balls and Mitchell Marsh scored an unbeaten 18 off 9 balls. Australia has already made its place for the Super 8 with one match still remaining in the group stage. The Kangaroo team now has to play its last group match against Scotland on June 16.
The road became difficult for England
It is now looking very difficult for the 2022 T20 World Cup winner England to make it to the Super 8, in which Australia has confirmed its place in the points table of Group B, while Scotland seems to be far ahead in the race to qualify as the second team. While England currently has only 2 points after 2 matches, Scotland has 5 points after 3 matches, in such a situation, to make it to the Super 8, the English team will have to hope for Australia’s big win against Scotland, while they themselves will have to achieve big wins in the matches against Oman and Namibia.
