Defending champions England will face Scotland in the sixth match of the ICC T20 World Cup at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Tuesday, June 4. The match will be played at 8.00 P.M. according to the Indian Standard Time.
Recently, England played a T20I series at home against Pakistan, where they won 2-0 in a four-match series, with two games being washed out by rain. Under the leadership of Jos Buttler, England boasts a strong squad, with several players performing well in the IPL 2024. Openers Jos Buttler and Phil Salt form one of the top opening pairs for the tournament, both currently in excellent form. Salt amassed 435 runs with a strike rate of 182.01 for KKR, while Buttler scored 359 runs in 11 matches for RR in the IPL.
On the other hand, Scotland has won 9 of their last 12 T20I matches, though they lost both of their warm-up games ahead of the T20 World Cup. Notably, Scotland and England have never faced each other in a T20I match. However, in their last ODI encounter in 2018, Scotland triumphed, with Calum MacLeod scoring 140 to lead his team to victory as England failed to chase down 372 in Edinburgh.
