T20 WC: All The Stats From England’s Five-wicket Win Over Scotland
T20 World Cup: Tom Banton's unbeaten 63 and Jacob Bethell's 32 helped England edge out Scotland by five wickets with 10 balls to spare in the 23rd match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Eden Gardens. This was also England's first victory against a European side in T20 World Cup history.
After a spirited late-order contribution from Oliver Davidson, Scotland managed to reach 150 runs. Scotland's innings then fell apart as they lost wickets at regular intervals, eventually being bowled out for 152 runs in 19.4 overs. Adil Rashid finished with excellent figures of 3 wickets for 36 runs as Jofra chipped in with two for 24.
England had a rocky start to the chase with both Phil Salt and Jos Buttler getting out within the first couple of overs (2 and 3, respectively). Scotland's opening bowlers (Brad Currie and Richie McMullen) were exceptional through the first 6 overs, getting England behind. But Banton and Jacob Bethell then put them on course to victory with their fine knocks.
