MATCH: England vs Scotland
DATE: Jun 04, 2024
TIME: 20:00 IST / 14:30 GMT
VENUE: Kensington Oval – Bridgetown, Barbados
TOURNAMENT: T20 World Cup 2024
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Kensington Oval is renowned for its pace, making it the fastest among all the Caribbean nations. This characteristic empowers both batters and fast bowlers to significantly influence the game, regardless of the format being played. Historically, the average first innings score at this venue stands at 156 in T20Is. However, England, being the dominant side, will undoubtedly strive to surpass this benchmark and aim for a total exceeding 200 runs if they bat first.
ENG vs SCO Top Team Bowlers
Jodra Archer, Mark Wood and Adil Rahid are our bowling recommendations for England. Pace bowler Wood returned to action last week after not featuring for any side from early March onwards. However, his speeds were high immediately and he took 2/35 from his four overs. Archer returns to where he was born for this opening game and that will give him added incentive to perform to his ability.
With the ball, Chris Sole, Mark Watt and Safyaan Sharif are our picks for Scotland. Right-arm medium fast bowler Sharif made his international debut in 2011 and since then he has taken 174 wickets. His best figures in T20Is are 4/24. Watt was part of the Scotland team which beat England in an ODI in 2018 and the 27 year old has been bowling well for his country over recent weeks.
Probable Playing XIs
England
Jos Buttler (c), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Ben Duckett, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Mark Wood
Scotland
George Munsey, Michael Jones, Richie Berrington (c), Ollie Hairs, Matthew Cross, Michael Leask, Brandon McMullen, Chris Greaves, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, Brad Wheal
England vs Scotland Prediction
Although England are the overwhelming favourites, Scotland’s players will be relishing the opportunity to spoil the start of the holders’ title defence. We saw in the 2023 Cricket World Cup that England can struggle when it comes to defending a crown and Scotland will look for any sign of weakness. However, England’s side is full of world class players with bat and ball so we are backing England to win.
Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler has been in amazing form in the IPL or the recently concluded series against Pakistan. He would be eager to continue his dominant form and showcase his prowess against a weaker side like Scotland to get things running before the big matches.
Probable Best Bowler: Adil Rashid
Adil Rashid is renowned as one of the deadliest leg spinners in the world, and he will be eager to kickstart this T20 World Cup campaign on a positive note with a solid spell of bowling against Scotland.
