Banton powers England to victory over Scotland T20 WC 2026 View(s): View(s):Kolkata, India, AFP: Tom Banton’s unbeaten 63 led England to a five-wicket T20 World Cup victory over Scotland in Kolkata on Saturday that kept Harry Brook’s side on course for the Super Eights. Victory in their final Group C match against Italy on Monday at the same Eden Gardens stadium will see England safely into the next round. Scotland bowled tightly until Bethell broke the shackles by hitting McMullen for a six and two fours in the fifth over. Michael Jones (33) holed out to Bethell off Curran and Scotland were 42-3 at the end of the six-over power play and never threatened a competitive total. Rashid was the best of the England bowlers with 3-36 from his four overs, while Dawson took 2-34.
