The reigning champions England will take on Scotland in the sixth match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Tuesday. The Three Lions recently defeated Pakistan by 2-0 in the four-match T20I series and they will look for a winning start to their campaign.

England’s captain Jos Buttler has been in fine form as he scored 123 runs in two games and he would look to lead from the front. Furthermore, England batters like Will Jacks and Phil Salt were in terrific form in the recently concluded Indian Premier League and they will look to continue the good show. 

England has a solid team that can definitely defend their title as they have got a lot of aggressive batters in their line-up. Furthermore, the addition of Jofra Archer, who took three wickets in two matches against Pakistan, has added a shot in the arm. Mark Wood is also known to bowl with a lot of gas and he is going to hold the key with Archer.

England has a lot of variety in their bowling line-up and it will be all about acclimatizing to the Caribbean conditions.

On the other hand, Scotland lost the warm-up match against Afghanistan by 55 runs and they will look to come up with a collective effort.

Match Prediction: England will certainly start the contest as favorites against Scotland.
