(Web Desk) – The Group B match of the T20 World Cup 2024 between England and Scotland was abandoned due to rain in Bridgetown on Tuesday.
Before the rain spoiled the game, Scotland set a target of 109 runs for defending champions in a reduced 10-over match.
Scottish opening pair remained unbeaten as George Munsey made 41 and Michael Jones 45, helped their side rack up a challenging total for rivals. Both teams have been awarded one point each.
