Preview: England and Scotland will play in the T20 World Cup 2024 Group B match at Bridgetown’s famous Kensington Oval.

T20 World Cup 2024, 6th Match, ENG vs SCO
Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados
Date & Time: Tuesday, June 04, 8:00 PM
Pitch Report: Kensington Oval’s pitch is the quickest in the Caribbean. It is well-known for its rapidity. This feature allows quick bowlers and hitters to have a big impact on the game no matter what format it is played in. In T20Is, the venue’s first-inning average score historically is 156. Still, England, the stronger team, will surely look to exceed this level and, should they choose to bat first, target a total of more than 200 runs.
