ENG vs SCO 2024, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update

ENG vs SCO predicted XIs

England predicted XI: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (c/wk), Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

England player to watch out: Phil Salt has been in blistering form in the recently concluded Indian Premier League and his success at the top might dictate how England’s campaign will be unveiled. However, he has a reputation of being a formidable T20 player but is yet to prove on the international stage.

Scotland predicted XI: George Munsey, Ollie Hairs, Charlie Tear, Richie Berrington (c), Brandon McMullen, Matthew Cross (wk), Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Christopher Sole, Safyaan Sharif, Bradley Currie

Scotland player to watch out: For all the power England’s batting order possesses one evident weakness is their lack of left-handers in the top four. And Scotland has Mark Watt who can trouble them. The left-arm spinner is accurate and has 6.91 runs in his T20I career. Barbados’s pitch recently has been conducive to spinners which might give Watt and added advantage.

Squads:

England Squad: Jos Buttler(w/c), Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Jonny Bairstow, Will Jacks, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Philip Salt, Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Tom Hartley

Scotland Squad: Matthew Cross(w), Michael Jones, George Munsey, Ollie Hairs, Richie Berrington(c), Michael Leask, Brandon McMullen, Jack Jarvis, Charlie Tear, Chris Greaves, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, Brad Wheal, Bradley Currie, Christopher Sole

England and Scotland are yet to face in T20I cricket

ENG vs SCO Pitch Report

Kensington Oval has a lot of history associated with it and is one of the iconic cricketing venues. The pitch here offers bounce to pacers and for batters, they can hit through the line of the ball. Since the game is at 7:30 PM local time in Bridgetown dew factor might come into play in the second innings hence team batting first might opt to field and restrict the opposition to a decent total and chase it down as with the dew the ball will come nicely onto the bat in the second innings.

ENG vs SCO Weather Report

According to Accuweather, the maximum temperature is 31 degrees centigrade in the morning and the minimum temperature is 27 degrees. The weather promises to be humid and since it is a day game and there won’t be a dew factor teams winning the toss might opt to bat first.
