The defending champions England will lock horns against Scotland in the sixth match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Tuesday. England have picked some hard-hitters in their team and it will be interesting to note how their batters will adjust to the slow conditions of the Caribbean and the USA.
Run-scoring hasn’t been a cakewalk so far in the T20I showpiece and English batters will need to show patience, which is not often associated in T20 format. The Jos Buttler-led team has world-class batters, who were in solid form in the IPL and they will look to continue the good show.
Furthermore, the addition of Jofra Archer is a huge boost for England. On the other hand, there is no doubt that Scotland will need to play out of their skin to challenge the potent English team.

Harry Brook needs nine fours to complete 50 boundaries in T20I format.
