Preview
In the Group B match of the T20 World Cup 2024, Australia will take on England at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown. During their tournament opener, Australia were far from clinical with their performance against Oman, but they managed to still secure a win with a big margin. Meanwhile, England weren’t quite at their best with the ball against Scotland, but the rains ensured that this match didn’t have any winners at the end of the day.

Analysis
David Warner played a gritty innings against a very well-rounded Oman bowling attack, but it was the Marcus Stoinis' batting blitz, which propelled the Australians to a par score in their T20 World Cup 2024 opener. In the defence of the 164-run total, Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa delivered decent spells, but it was again a Marcus Stoinis show, this time with a ball in hand, picking up three wickets to make sure that Oman didn’t get close to chasing down the runs.
Meanwhile, England bowlers didn’t do justice to their quality against the Scottish openers Michael Jones and George Munsey, conceding 90 runs in 10 overs without picking up a wicket. Although the English batters didn’t get the chance to get their chase underway due to rain playing spoilsport, many experts believed that they would have been in trouble while chasing down a high total on the day as per the DLS method.
