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.

The Kensington Oval provides a good batting surface early in the game. The pitch is firm and flat, with plenty of pace and bounce. The ball glides nicely onto the bat, and playing shots will be simple.
The weather is expected to remain overcast throughout the day, with some rain showers possible.

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.
