England vs Scotland T20 World Cup 2026 LIVE Score: Harry Brook's men aim to break European jinx at Eden Gardens

England vs Scotland T20 World Cup 2026 LIVE Score: Having never won a T20 World Cup game against an European, Harry Brook's England will be eyeing to break the jinx when they take on Scotland at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday. This is a crucial match for both the sides in their race for Super 8 qualification. West Indies top Group C with four points.

However, debutant Italy's 10-wicket win over Nepal further added more misery for England. Although Scotland, Italy and England are level on two points each, England are placed fourth due to a poor NRR. Scotland and Italy are taking the second and third spots.

England vs Scotland head to head in T20Is

England have played Scotland in T20Is only once in the shortest format, in 2024. However, the match yielded no result as rain played spoilsport at Bridgetown in the previous edition of the T20 World Cup. In a game that was reduced to 10 overs per side, Scotland had reached 90 without loss, before the rain gods opened up once again to dampen the spirits.
