Rain denies Scotland and England as Group B grudge match abandoned

Neighbours Scotland and England saw their first-ever Men’s T20I abandoned after just ten overs of play, with the two teams sharing the points from their Group B meeting at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in a damp Bridgetown.

It was Scotland who won the toss, with captain Richie Berrington opting to bat first in Bridgetown against an England line-up packed with pace options.

A brief rain shower delayed the start of play by 30 minutes before England’s bowlers got the game underway at an overcast Kensington Oval.But a second and heavier rain delay brought the match to a halt with Scotland 51/0 after 6.2 overs, forcing the game to be reduced to ten overs per side.

And a third rain delay, after Scotland had reached 90/0 from their ten overs, meant that the match was called off with no result possible.
