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.

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
