In the 2026 T20 World Cup, England defeated Scotland by five wickets in Kolkata on Saturday, February 14th, reviving their chances of reaching the Super Eights. Scotland were bowled out for 152, and England chased the target, scoring 155-5 in 18.2 overs, led by Tom Banton's unbeaten 63. After a shaky start, partnerships and aggressive batting helped England secure the victory. England's bowlers performed better after a previous loss to the West Indies. A win against Italy in their final Group C match at Eden Gardens on Monday will guarantee England's place in the next round.
