Australia continued their dominance in the T20I series against Scotland, securing a comfortable six-wicket victory in the third and final match at Grange Cricket Club, Raeburn Place. The win capped off a successful tour, with Australia sweeping the three-match series 3-0. Star all-rounder’s all-round performance played a crucial role in the victory, as Australia chased down Scotland’s target of 150 with 23 balls to spare.

Brandon McMullen shines amidst batting struggles

After losing the toss and being put into bat, Scotland posted a total of 149/9 in their 20 overs. Brandon McMullen was the standout performer for the hosts, scoring a well-crafted 56 off 39 balls, including three fours and three sixes. George Munsey contributed 25 off 17 balls at the top of the order, while Mark Watt provided some late fireworks with an 18-run cameo off 12 balls. However, Scotland struggled to build partnerships, with Australia’s bowlers regularly picking up wickets to restrict the hosts.

Aaron Hardie (3/18) and Sean Abbott (2/28) were the chief architects of Scotland’s collapse, while Cameron Green added three wickets to his tally, conceding 35 runs in his four overs. Australia’s disciplined bowling effort ensured that Scotland never gained momentum throughout their innings.

Cameron Green powers the Aussies home

Australia’s chase got off to a shaky start when Jake Fraser McGurk fell for a duck in the first over. Travis Head followed soon after for 12, but Mitchell Marsh and Green steadied the ship with a 63-run partnership. Marsh scored a quickfire 31 off 23 balls, while Green anchored the innings with a brilliant 62 off 39 balls, which included two fours and five sixes.

Tim David’s explosive 25 off 14 balls further accelerated the chase, and Hardie’s unbeaten 11 off 6 balls sealed the win for Australia. Despite Scotland’s efforts with the ball, with Bradley Currie claiming 2-20 in his three overs, Australia’s powerful batting lineup proved too strong for the hosts.

Series recap: Australia dominate throughout

Australia’s victory in the third T20I followed their comprehensive performances in the earlier matches. They won the first T20I by seven wickets and secured a 70-run victory in the second game, showcasing their superiority throughout the series.
