The 6th match for the T20 World Cup 2024 was expected to be an entertainer as Scotland and England from group B would compete against each other to gain two points in the run for the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy.
The match was being held at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados and the stadium was buzzing with energy from fans of both sides.
Scotland won the toss and opted to Bat first. However, rain washed the game away as both teams had to abandon the match midway. Scotland’s score board went up to 90 runs in 10 overs, before the match got abandoned due to constantly repetitive drizzle.
Richie Berrington’s frustration expressed after the match
As the match got abandoned, Scotland captain Richie Berrington addressed the team’s fans.
“I think everyone’s frustrated, not able to get in a game, but some positives to take from it at least. I thought our openers did a really good job, we could take something from that. Frustrated we couldn’t get a full game in. We certainly gave ourselves a chance.” Richie said
Berrington further expressed the team’s interest in playing the match and how the weather would have affected the pitch.
“It would have been interesting to see how the weather affected the pitch. There was some uneven bounce, something that we expected through the day. We certainly had an opportunity there.”
Speaking about Scottish batsmen Michael Jones and George Munsey, Berrington also showered praises on the players.
“It’s the role he (Jones) has played for us before. He can bat anywhere in the batting order, but at the top he is exciting and we saw that today. Hopefully we’ll see plenty of that from him. Munsey has been in good form, he can be hard to bowl at. George has got different skills, not sure if I can do the same.” He added.
