The 1965 ODI
Rain reduced both teams to 10 overs each, giving Scotland an early advantage when Michael Jones edged to slip and was caught at short third man for 42. George Munsey then added to Scotland’s total with an excellent boundary off Stuart Broad spinner.
Australian bowlers quickly took control as wickets fell regularly. David Gooch was bowled by Darren Gough in the seventh over, followed by James Carse’s incredible fielding play when he caught Alex Carey off Jofra Archer for 77. England fell to 141-3.
England played in an extraordinary series against South Africa; but, barring one Test at The Oval, England never truly threatened a comeback. Their loss of Gooch to a rebel tour had proven costly while their newly assembled side struggled for any form.
The mid-1960s was a trying period for England cricket. Although considered the strongest side ever to tour Australia, they were soundly defeated by Richie Benaud’s reinvigorated Australians in their debut Ashes series against them that decade. That summer they were routed in India as well, leading Ted Dexter to replace Alec Bedser as captain.
England experienced success on both Australian and New Zealand tours during the late 1960s, yet their form dwindled once more during the early 1970s against Allan Border’s resurgent Australia and string of poor results brought an abrupt end to Mike Denness’s reign as coach.
In 2009, Scotland joined five other Associate nations at the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier held in Belfast.

The 2018 T20 International
England have taken three of four T20Is against Scotland so far and will look to secure another win on Sunday at Kensington Oval.

Scotland emerged victorious despite suffering a heavy defeat against Bangladesh in their opening Super Eights match of their Super Eights campaign, finishing in top six and maintaining their ODI status for another three years. A win against Holland helped achieve this result while two victories against Kenya ensured Scotland would participate in 2024 ICC World Twenty20 qualifiers.
Due to rain, this match was reduced to only 10 overs per side. Scotland batsmen scored 90 without loss in 10 overs but eventually it was called off due to heavy downpours.
England showed their dominance by both bat and ball during this shortened game. Jos Buttler and Phil Salt produced an explosive 47-run partnership in 24 balls which kept up momentum for their side while bowlers Jofra Archer and Mark Wood took one wicket each for England.
Richie Berrington of Scotland expressed his displeasure with the result of their match, believing they could have exerted more pressure due to an uneven bounce surface. Berrington added that Michael Jones and George Munsey make an excellent batting combination as did both openers on defense.
England are packed with power-hitters, and will look to build on their win against Scotland. Jos Buttler has been particularly impressive for his club and should play an instrumental role in England’s team. England are strong favorites at this tournament but must put forward their best performance to secure the crown; coach Trevor Bayliss oversees them while an array of experienced players composes its ranks.
