If England bats first

ENG vs SCO Top Player Picks
Jos Buttler (ENG): Following a start-stop IPL with a couple of tons, Buttler seemed in his groove against Pakistan in the recently concluded bilateral series. He will be charging his troops at the top with the bat and is one of England’s biggest match-winners.
Phil Salt (ENG): The wicketkeeper-batter is likely to partner his captain at the top of the order. He had an outstanding IPL campaign with the Kolkata Knight Riders, bashing 435 runs from 12 innings at an average of 39.55 and a strike rate of 182.01.
Mark Watt (SCO): The left-arm spinner is a great example of a person who learns and believes to study opposition batters. Watt is a much improved bowler now and the conditions of Bridgetown is likely to help him have the last laugh over the English batters.
George Munsey (SCO): The middle-order batter is a great batter against spin with a range of reverse sweeps and brooms in his armoury. Munsey produced two fifties during the World Cup Qualifiers with one of them coming against West Indies on a winning cause.
ENG vs SCO Differential Picks
Matt Cross (SCO): The top-order batter is an exponent of aggressive brand of cricket. Cross has the knack of taking down the hard new white rock inside the powerplay and can convert scores into bigger numbers as well.
Chris Jordan (ENG): The right-arm medium pacer has the ability to bowl change-ups with the old ball and often gets his share of dividends. Jordan is England’s slog over specialist and can produce cameos with the bat as well.
