England could get knocked out even if they win their final two group matches, and therefore need a favour from Australia
Usain Bolt injury: Latest update after sprinter stretchered off during Soccer Aidin Barbados, when Jos Buttler’s men failed to take a wicket in 10 overs, did not count towards NRR as it was a no result. But theScotland, after beating Namibia and hammering Oman in Antigua on Sunday, have a far healthier figure of 2.164.
There are too many variables to say exactly what margins of victory would be enough for England. But there are some scenarios we can look at to give an illustration of their current predicament. In simple terms, if England were to beat Oman in their next game on Thursday by 36 runs they would get their NRR back to around 0 – these figures can change slightly depending on the number of overs batted by each team.If they were double that margin of victory – so winning by 72 runs – they would have a positive rate of around 1.8.
Another way England could boost their NRR would be completing a run chase in good time. So, for example, if they bowled out Oman for 99 in 15 overs and chased down their target of 100 in 10 overs their overall NRR would climb to 1.6 after that game.
