England showed their strength

England's first match was washed out due to rain, then Australia defeated them badly. Therefore, to stay in the tournament, it was necessary to win by a big margin and fix the net run rate. For this, Jos Buttler won the toss and invited Oman to bat first. After this, Mark Wood and Jofra Archer together demolished Oman's top order with their pace. In the powerplay itself, Oman's team lost 4 wickets for only 25 runs. Then Adil Rashid trapped Oman's middle order in his spin in such a way that they kneeled down and the entire team collapsed for only 47 runs.

When England came out to chase, they started attacking from the very first ball. Opener Phil Salt made his intentions clear by hitting two sixes on the first two balls of the innings, however, he got out after that. After this, Will Jacks came to bat but he once again proved to be a flop and went out after scoring 5 runs in 7 balls. After Jacks was out, captain Butler took charge and played an explosive innings.

Warning given to Australia

The England team was struggling with its Net Run Rate (NRR). On this, Australia's fast bowler Josh Hazlewood had said that to eliminate England, his team can think about defeating Scotland by less runs or losing to them. Now by defeating Oman badly, the England team has warned Australia. After this match, the England team is 2 points behind Scotland but has gone ahead in terms of NRR. While Scotland's NRR is +2.164, England's is +3.081. Now to go to the Super-8, it will have to defeat Namibia at all costs and hope that Australia does not show any trickery and defeats Scotland.
