England to score more than 7.5 runs in 1st over – 10Cric @ 2, BET HERE

Phil Salt is coming off a stunning IPL season with Kolkata Knight Riders and also had a decent outing against Pakistan. His aggressive batting certainly gives him a chance to score most runs in the line-up.

Head-to-Head Record ENG vs SCO
England and Scotland are facing each other for the first time in T20 Internationals.
England
England, led by Jos Buttler, will be keen on starting their title defence on a high. They are coming off a stunning 2-0 series win at home over Pakistan. In both victories, the Brits played like champions and Jofra Archer’s come back seems to be boding well for their bowling attack while Harry Brook has also returned to international cricket after taking a break at the start of the year.
Scotland
Richie Berrington is set to lead Scotland in the tournament. Scotland featured in the T20 World Cup a couple of years ago too and they had defeated West Indies in their opening game by 42 runs. They have the ability to pull off upsets and their next target would be to go past the world champion side like England.
