In match 23 of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Scotland will take on England in a crucial Group stage clash on Saturday, February 14, at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM IST.

After playing their first two matches in Mumbai, England now shift base to Kolkata for what could be a decisive encounter in their campaign. Their journey in the ongoing global tournament has not gone as planned so far.

ENG vs SCO: Tournament so far

England narrowly avoided a shock defeat against Nepal, thanks to Sam Curran's composed final over. But they failed to repeat that escape act against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium. 

Chasing 197, England were bowled out for 166 despite Curran's fighting unbeaten 43 off 30 balls. As a result, Harry Brook's men are now under pressure, sitting behind West Indies, Scotland, and Italy in the group standings on net run rate.

On the other hand, Scotland has shown strong intent. Called into the tournament as late replacements after Bangladesh's withdrawal, they have made the most of their opportunity. 

Although they fell short against the West Indies in their opening game, they bounced back impressively against Italy.

Scotland currently sits second in the group and will be eager to cause a major upset. Having already played two matches in Kolkata, they also hold the advantage of familiarity with the conditions at Eden Gardens. 

So, as the excitement builds for the ENG vs SCO match, in this article, let's take a look at the pitch and weather report for Eden Gardens.

The pitch at Eden Gardens is expected to provide an exciting contest between bat and ball in the upcoming afternoon match between England and Scotland. 

The pitch at this stadium is usually very good for batting. The outfield is very fast, so the ball races to the boundary. The pitch has even bounce and pace, which makes it easier for batters to play their shots with confidence.

Fast bowlers are not likely to get much swing or seam movement. Because of this, the top-order batters could score a lot of runs in the first half of the match. 

Since it is an afternoon game, the pitch may get a bit dry later on, and spinners could get some turn in the middle overs when the ball becomes older.

Once the initial shine on the ball fades and the pitch settles, batting is expected to become much easier.

Another key factor at Eden Gardens is its quick outfield. Well-timed shots often race to the boundary, putting extra pressure on bowlers. Even mistimed shots can fetch runs due to the speed of the ground.

With dew unlikely to play a major role in an afternoon match, the captain winning the toss may prefer to bat first.
