ENG vs SCO: Ground Pitch Report
Eden Gardens has been a good batting wicket. In two games, teams have scored 182 and 207 in the first innings. But batting in the second innings has been difficult, which is why both times scores have been defended. So, that is where batting first can be ideal in Kolkata.

Jos Buttler is England's best T20I batter, and he has the most runs for England in T20 World Cup history. He will be a key player for this team. For Scotland, George Munsey played a match-winning knock in the previous game, and he is in good form at the top.
Probable Best Bowler
Adil Rashid was unplayable in the previous game, and it will be difficult to read him. For Scotland, Michael Leask has been the best bowler.
