AFP- England hammered Oman by eight wickets as the reigning champions revived their T20 World Cup campaign with a record-breaking win in Antigua on Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Needing a heavy victory to bolster their net run-rate as they attempt to overhaul Scotland in the race to qualify for the second round, England routed Oman for just 47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England then made 50-2 in a mere 3.1 overs, captain Jos Buttler 24 not out and Jonny Bairstow, who hit the winning boundary, unbeaten on eight.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This overwhelming Group B victory meant England recorded the largest win in T20 World Cup history in terms of balls remaining.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oman had no answer to England\u2019s attack, leg-spinner Adil Rashid taking 4-11, while express quicks Jofra Archer and Mark Wood both had figures of 3-12 in an innings that ended with nearly seven overs to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number seven Shoaib Khan (11) was the only Oman batsman to reach double figures after Buttler won the toss.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

England\u2019s net run-rate climbed to 3.081, better than Scotland\u2019s 2.16, although they stayed third on three points, behind the Scots\u2019 five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But amid speculation arch-rivals Australia, undefeated so far in Group B might ease up in their closing pool game against Scotland to engineer England\u2019s exit, Buttler\u2019s men now know they will go second if they beat Namibia in their pool finale on Saturday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even a win, however, would leave England awaiting the outcome of Sunday\u2019s match between Australia and Scotland to discover if they have reached the Super Eights. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I thought the tone was set really well by the bowlers, picking up the early wickets,\u2019 said Buttler as England returned to winning ways after a comprehensive 36-run loss to Australia last time out that followed a washout with Scotland.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Job done today, another big game in two days\u2019 time.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defeat by Australia added to the pressure on Buttler and coach Matthew Mott, himself a native Australian, that had been growing since late last year when England lost six of their nine games during a woeful defence of their 50-over World Cup title in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I\u2019ve been around long enough to know how things work,\u2019 said Buttler. \u2018We have confidence. We can only focus on ourselves, we\u2019ve got a huge game against Namibia.\u2019<\/p>\n
