West Indies vs Scotland faced Scotland in a Group C match at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Kolkata on February 7, launching both teams’ campaigns in a fixture carrying early qualification implications. West Indies sought a strong start after recent mixed international results, while Scotland aimed to extend momentum from previous upset victories, according to tournament officials and live match reporting.
Early play showed West Indies vs Scotland rebuilding after a measured start before accelerating through the middle overs with aggressive stroke-making from the middle order. Scotland’s bowlers applied pressure with disciplined lines and timely breakthroughs to prevent the total from escalating beyond reach, broadcasters reported during live coverage.
