Intermittent rain wreaked havoc on the T20 World Cup clash between England and Scotland, resulting in a shared point for both teams on June 4.
Rain Disrupts Game
The game was already shortened to a 10-overs-per-side affair when rain once again made its presence felt at the innings break, with Scotland posting 90 for no loss in the first half.
Scotland’s strong start saw England chasing a revised target of 109 runs off 10 overs through the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
Key Performances
Michael Jones and George Munsey led the charge for Scotland, with Jones scoring a brisk 45 not out off 30 balls and Munsey unbeaten on 41 off 31 balls.
Munsey had a stroke of luck when Mark Wood’s wicket-taking delivery was ruled a no-ball, giving Munsey a reprieve after being caught behind.
Rain-Interrupted Match
The match was plagued by multiple rain interruptions, starting with a delayed start due to a passing shower after the toss.
Despite Scotland’s strong position at 51 for no loss in 6.2 overs, a heavy downpour caused a lengthy interruption, leading to a 10-over reduction for each innings.
Next Steps
Scotland will now face Namibia at Kensington Oval on June 7, while England prepares for a showdown with Australia on June 8 at the same venue.
