We may not see Great Britain colonies against each other in the EUROS happening in June, but we can witness that in the T20 World Cup as England take on Scotland in Group B.
Group B has already witnessed a thriller where David Wiese became the Eagles’ hero.
Can England break their streak of losing to European teams in the World Cups, or will Scotland continue this trend?
Team Previews
England
England team has boosted their bowling attack by the comeback of two Caribbean quicks, Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan, alongside the pace of Mark Wood and Reece Topley.
Jos Buttler has also confirmed that Jonny Bairstow will bat at no.4 for England in the World Cup, making England’s batting consist of three wicketkeepers.
As always, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will be the spin duo, assisted by part-timers Will Jacks and Liam Livingstone.
Probable Playing XI
England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
Scotland: George Munsey, Ollie Hairs, Brandon McMullen, Richard Berrington (c), Matthew Cross (wk), Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Brady Currie
Scotland
The 13th-ranked team in the world will face the world champions, England, in the opening encounter of the World Cup.
George Munsey will lead the batting attack, while Mark Watt will lead the bowling attack.
The recently concluded Tri Series was good practice for the team gearing up for the World Cup. The team has a good balance of young and experienced players.
Pitch Report
The Match will be played in Bridgetown, Barbados, which has a historically slow pitch that will greatly assist the spinners.
We have witnessed a low-scoring encounter going into the super over, with Oman, who scored 109 batting first and stopped Namibia at 109 while defending the target.
We can expect the same for this match, but the quality and experience of the English Batters could make a difference.
Players To Watch Out For
Jos Buttler: The English Captain needs no introduction to how destructive he can be. Though he had an on-and-off IPL season, he came back strong in the series against Pakistan, bagging Man of the Series for himself and a series Victory for England. Apart from his batting, his wicketkeeping and captaincy skills will also play an important role.
Mark Watt: The spinning sensation with his notes in his back pocket will be crucial for the Scots if they want to achieve something extraordinary in the World Cup.
