The second match of Group B of the T20 World Cup 2024 between England and Scotland was abandoned due to persistent rain at Kensington Oval, Barbados, on Tuesday.
After Scotland concluded their innings at 90-0, the rain started once again and the umpires decided to call it off. Both teams were awarded one point each.
In the first innings, the match was greatly interrupted by rain as it was stopped for about two hours due to persistent rain in Barbados after which it was reduced to 10 overs.
However, due to the DLS method, despite Scotland ending their innings at 90-0, the revised target was 109 runs.
George Munsey (41 off 31) and Michael Jones (45 off 39) were the only Scottish batters to bat.
Earlier at the toss, Scotland's captain Richie Berrington won the toss and opted to bat first. He hoped his side to progress in the tournament as far as they could.
"It does look on the drier side, but as we have seen on this trip so far, the wickets can change ground to ground, day to day," Richie Berrington said after the toss.
"As a team, we want to progress as far as we can. Hopefully we can come out and make a few more special memories today."
Meanwhile, England's skipper Jos Buttler stated that he would have bowled first anyway and also confirmed that Mark Wood is in the playing XI over Reece Topley.
"Everyone's really excited to get going. It was a 50-50 call [with Reece Topley and Mark Wood] but we have gone for the extra pace of Wood today," Buttler said.
