England and Scotland face off in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. England, aiming to recover from recent defeats, won the toss and elected to bowl first, with both teams unchanged from their previous lineups. England's captain Harry Brook expressed confidence in chasing on a quick outfield and a good batting pitch, hoping to improve their aggressive approach after a cautious outing against the West Indies. Scotland's captain Richie Berrington noted the pitch is favorable for batting and emphasized the importance of handling spin during the middle overs. Scotland, currently second in Group C with two points, has played at Eden Gardens before and feels comfortable with the conditions, while England, placed fourth, needs a win to keep their tournament hopes alive. This match marks their first complete T20I encounter since their 2024 World Cup clash, which was washed out. Both teams remain optimistic, with Scotland aiming to build on their previous success and England seeking redemption after recent losses.
