Scotland have won the toss and elected to bat first against defending champions England in their World Cup campaign. The match will start at 8:30 pm (Bangladesh Standard Time).

England will be looking to retain their title, and they certainly have the squad to pull it off.

With captain Jos Buttler and Phil Salt opening, and batters like Jonny Bairstow, Will Jacks, Harry Brooks to follow, England are definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Their bowling is no less either. England will be welcoming back Jofra Archer, who is finally ready to set the stage on fire. Alongside Archer, England will have Reece Topley and Mark Wood to bolster their pace attack. Adil Rashid, a destructive leg spinner will certainly be playing a key role.

Scotland, who are the weaker side on pen and paper, will be taking their chances against their rival England. They do have experience in their squad, which will be crucial for them throughout the tournament.

Scotland: 1 George Munsey, 2 Michael Jones, 3 Brandon McMullen, 4 Richie Berrington (capt), 5 Matt Cross (wk), 6 Michael Leask, 7 Chris Greaves, 8 Mark Watt, 9 Brad Wheal, 10 Chris Sole, 11 Brad Currie.

England: 1 Jos Buttler (capt & wk), 2 Phil Salt, 3 Will Jacks, 4 Jonny Bairstow, 5 Harry Brook, 6 Moeen Ali, 7 Liam Livingstone, 8 Chris Jordan, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Mark Wood, 11 Adil Rashid.
