Two crucial Group B games that will determine England’s future in the T20 World Cup will be played later tonight and here’s the weather report for AUS vs SCO and ENG vs NAM for June 15.

What's the equation for England and Scotland?

Australia will play Scotland in St Lucia at 8.30 pm local time, soon after the culmination of England’s fixture against Namibia in Antigua (1 pm local time). While Australia have sealed their spot in the Super Eight, there is an intense battle between England and Scotland to seal the second spot from the group.

Scotland have five points from three games currently and a win will take them through. A washout will also be enough to take them into the Super Eight. England, on the other hand, with three points, will be knocked out if their match is washed out or if they lose. Even if they win, they will need to ensure their Net Run Rate stays above Scotland’s.
