Led by Richie Berrington, the team sees the Bridgetown fixture as an opportunity to face off against the reigning world champions for the first time in the T20 format.

Phil Salt Vs Chris Greaves

Phil Salt Vs Mark Watt

Similar to Chris Greaves, Scotsman Mark Watt will also look out for an interesting game. Phil Salt, known for his ability to dominate pace, showcased his skill in the IPL. While he can attack spin, he has been prone to getting out to spin bowling. This sets up an intriguing clash with Scotland's spinner Mark Watt.

Jos Buttler Vs Chris Sole

Jos Buttler tends to be a bit edgy at the start against pacers. This is where the Scottish pacers Chris Sole, Brad Wheel, and Safyaan Sharif can aim to dismiss him early. If Buttler settles in, he can dismantle their bowling attack. The England skipper is also proficient against spin, making him a formidable opponent.
