ENG vs SCO
England Team Analysis
England’s campaign has been disappointing so far. They narrowly escaped defeat against Nepal but then suffered a loss in their next match. Their main concern has been the bowling unit.
Jofra Archer has struggled to make an impact, and apart from Adil Rashid, there hasn’t been much support from other bowlers. However, England still have one of the strongest batting lineups with players like Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Harry Brook, and Sam Curran.
England need a strong all-round performance to stay in the race for qualification.
Key Players:
Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Harry Brook, Adil Rashid, Sam Curran
Scotland Team Analysis
Scotland started their campaign with a loss against West Indies but bounced back strongly with a 73-run win over Italy. Their batting unit looked confident, and the bowling attack performed well.
Scotland have nothing to lose in this game. If they manage to put pressure on England, they can create a major upset and improve their chances of qualifying.
Key Players:
George Munsey, Richie Berrington, Brandon McMullen, Mark Watt

ENG vs SCO Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
England have a stronger and more experienced squad, especially in batting. Their power hitters and match-winners give them a clear advantage.
However, their bowling form is a concern, and Scotland can take advantage if England fail to defend a total. Scotland’s confidence after the last win makes them dangerous.
Still, considering experience, depth, and overall quality, England are favorites to win this match.
