2024 T20 World Cup Points Table: Updated standings after England vs Oman match

England have jumped from fourth to third position in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group B after an emphatic win against Oman. The defending champions crushed their lower-ranked opponents by eight wickets in a lopsided game at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid's magnificent four-wicket haul ensured that England bowled Oman out for just 47 runs. England had to boost their net run rate to bolster their chances of a place in the Super 8s, which is why their batters looked to attack on every ball.

Captain Jos Buttler led the defending champions from the front with an unbeaten eight-ball 24*, smashing four fours and a six. His unbeaten knock helped England reach 50/2 in just 3.1 overs.

Courtesy of this emphatic victory, England now have three points from three matches in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group B. Their net run rate has gone up from -1.800 to +3.081.

Meanwhile, Oman have ended as the last-ranked team in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group B. The team from the Middle East could not win a single match in the mega event. They returned home with zero points and a disappointing net run rate of -3.062.

Despite the win against Oman, England's fate is not in their own hands. They need Australia to defeat Scotland in their battle on Saturday in Gros Islet. If Scotland upset the Aussies or the match ends in a no-result, England will be eliminated from the tournament.

In case Australia beat Scotland, England will have to crush Namibia in their final group-stage match tomorrow in North Sound. If Namibia upset England or the match gets abandoned, even then the defending champions will be knocked out.
