US EditionWest Indies vs Scotland LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Windies Lose Openers in Quick Succession After Strong Start
Scotland elected to bowl first and took early wickets including Oliver Davidson’s maiden T20I, restricting West Indies in the T20 World Cup opener, officials said.
- On February 7, 2026, Scotland won the toss and Richie Berrington elected to field at Eden Gardens, removing both West Indies openers early to pressure the visitors.
- Called up at short notice after Bangladesh's exit, Scotland had a rapid build-up and sought local pitch input during a Bengaluru practice match.
- Oliver Davidson claimed his maiden T20I wicket amid Scotland's early burst, while Michael Leask bowled tight overs and George Munsey took a key catch.
- Scotland's early discipline restricted runs and stalled West Indies' momentum during the powerplay period, a crucial setback for two-time champions as they seek to reverse poor form in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Group C.
- Historic context — including West Indies' 2016 T20 World Cup win at Eden Gardens and Scotland's 42-run upset in 2022 — frames today's match significance.
