Cricket: England's World Cup campaign got off to an underwhelming start as their clash with Scotland was abandoned due to rain.
England vs. Scotland abandoned | 00:50 Scotland openers George Munsey and Michael Jones gave England a fright in their T20 World Cup opener in Barbados on Tuesday before rain spared the defending champions a potentially tough chase .
But after Scotland captain Richie Berrington won the toss on Tuesday, they failed to create one clear and legitimate wicket-taking chance. But a fresh downpour led the umpires to abandon the Group B match before England, on a ground where they won the 2010 T20 World Cup final, could begin their reply.
Earlier, left-hander Munsey, on 16, top top-edged a hook off Mark Wood high to wicketkeeper Buttler, only to be reprieved by the fast bowler’s no-ball. “Everyone’s frustrated, but some positives to take at least,” he said, with Scotland next playing fellow non-Test nation Namibia at the ground on Thursday.
