World T20 League 2024

ENG vs. SCO, 6th Match

Preview

Match no.6 of the World T20 League 2024 will be played between the defending champions England and their neighbours Scotland at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Tuesday, June 4. 

The two nations of the United Kingdom have also been part of the last editions of the World T20 League but have never crossed paths in the marquee event or in any game of the shortest format which makes it their first-ever clash in T20I cricket. 

The Jos Buttler-led English side comprises several players who have performed exceptionally well in the recently concluded Indian T20 League. Players like Phil Salt have been in red-hot form in the cash-reach league alongside other players like Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow and the skipper himself. Also, the return of Jofra Archer is a major addition to the bowling arsenal of the Three Lions

The Scottish side will be playing their third consecutive World T20 League but still has no match to their opponents on pen and paper. The Richie Berrington-led side has won all six of their matches in the European qualifiers to finish on the top of the table rankings, which brought them a spot in the marquee event which is presently taking place at the West Indies and United States of America. 

Match Details

Match: World T20 League 2024, ENG vs SCO, 6th Match

Date: Tuesday, June 4, 20234

Time: 08:00 PM IST

Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados

Pitch and Weather Report

Kensington Oval has a pitch of balanced nature. Batters get good carry and bounce throughout their innings, allowing them to play their shots. Although being a batters paradise, the pitch tends to slow down gradually as the match progresses. The spinners get good assistance under this condition. Seamers on the other hand will need help in bowling as the track has minimum support for them.

The weather in Bridgetown will be mostly cloudy and humid during the match day. The temperature will range between 27 to 29 degrees Celsius but rain is not expected to affect during the matchtime.
