England Begin T20 World Cup Defense Against Scotland

Defending champions England will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Scotland on June 4 in Bridgetown, Barbados. Despite facing rain-affected preparations, England remains a formidable contender for the title.

Phil Salt, who impressed in the Indian Premier League, will be a key player for England. The return of pacer Jofra Archer adds firepower to the bowling attack. England will be the overwhelming favorites against Scotland, who are making their first appearance in the shortest format of the tournament.

England has a strong record in T20 cricket, having won the World Cup in 2010 and 2022. They will be aiming to become the first team to win the tournament three times.

In the other match of the day, Afghanistan will face Uganda in Guyana. Afghanistan, who performed well in the last ODI World Cup, will be the favorites against the African nation, who are making their tournament debut.
