Defending champions England will be kicking off their T20I World Cup campaign by taking on Scotland in their first game of the ongoing T20I World Cup 2024 on Tuesday at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. The encounter will be very crucial for England as they will be eager to make a strong opening statement. England lifted the title during the last edition of the tournament as they would hope to go on with the same rhythm.
England will be hopeful of greater results heading into the T20I World Cup as they endured a suffocating campaign at the ODI World Cup 2023 in October-November. England team appears to be in a surging mode. Skipper Jos Buttler, in particular, has been in a firing mode, having had successful run with the bat at the IPL and in the recent T20I series against Pakistan. However, the experience during Pakistan series for England was annoying due to rain spoiling the proceedings in the first and third game. England had, meanwhile, won the series 2-0. Going into this match, England will look to leverage its star-studded lineup. Their Key players in the form of Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstoneand Mark Wood, and Jofra Archer bring a wealth of experience and firepower.
On the other hand, Scotland remained unbeaten in the European Qualifier last summer and defeated robust Ireland to romp to the top spot. Scotland, however, go into the match as the underdog but with a belief that they can spring a surprise, it will turn out to be a thrilling contest. The team has been brilliant in the past, and players like Brandon McMullen, Michael Jones and Matt Cross will aim to topple formidable England.
England probable XI: Jos Buttler (c&wk), Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley
Scotland probable XI: George Munsey, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington (c), Matt Cross (wk), Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Brad Wheal, Chris Sole, Brad Currie
