England would have had 'everything in their favour' had the rain not intervened in their T20 World Cup opener against Scotland in Barbados, says coach Matthew Mott.
England would have had "all the things in our favour" had the rain not intervened in their T20 World Cup opener against Scotland in Barbados, coach Matthew Mott said.
Jones, who ended 45 not out from 30 balls, also said his side had a "really good chance" of getting one over on England. Mark Wood had George Munsey, who made 41 not out from 31 balls, caught on 16 but the opener was reprieved when Wood was shown to have bowled a front-foot no-ball."It was probably just a bit of nerves at the start of a tournament," Mott said.
The result is by no means terminal for either side's hopes of progressing from the group which also includes Australia, Oman and Namibia, but it heightens the importance of those later games.
