During the game, Scotland’s captain won the toss and decided to bat first in Match 6 of the ICC T20 World Cup against defending champions England.

The wind was exceptionally strong, causing the rain to be unpredictable and widespread. The gameplay was halted for an extended period, eventually resulting in a reduction of overs to 10.
