ENG vs SCO Match Preview

England will face Scotland in Match 6 of the 2024 T20 World Cup on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. local time in Bridgetown, Barbados. This will be the group’s second game, following Namibia and Oman’s opener on Sunday evening at Kensington Oval. England begin their T20 World Cup defence with this local derby, and while there is always the possibility of a giant-killing, we believe Buttler’s side will have too much quality. They impressed with both bat and ball in their recent series victory over Pakistan. Scotland has developed into a consistent international team, but they lack a true world-class player capable of swinging a close game against an established team. We can expect them to play good cricket in this match, but a win seems unlikely.

Topmost Picks for ENG vs SCO Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Scotland

• Richie Berrington – Although there are sometimes question marks over his strike-rate in this format, the Scotland captain averages over 31 from 82 T20I innings.
• Chris Sole – The right-arm medium fast bowler is Scotland’s most in-form player with the ball after picking up wickets in the recent Tri-Nation Series in the Netherlands.

Top Picks – England

• Jos Buttler – The captain made 84 in the second T20I against Pakistan last month and his strike-rate was between 164 and 180 throughout the series.
• Jofra Archer – The right-arm fast bowler has endured a tough few years with injuries but he impressed in both of his appearances against Pakistan, picking up wickets in both.

ENG vs SCO Probable Winners:

Although England are overwhelming favourites, Scotland’s players will relish the opportunity to disrupt the holders’ title defence. We saw in the 2023 Cricket World Cup that England struggles to defend a crown, and Scotland will look for any signs of weakness. However, England’s team is full of world-class bat and ball players, so we believe England will win. Considering the team combination, England are expected to win this match.
