Preview: On Saturday evening, Australia and Scotland will face off in their final T20 World Cup Group B match. The Australians have already advanced to the Super-8 stage with three consecutive victories. Scotland, on the other hand, will be hoping that Namibia will do them a favor by defeating England in the earlier match on Saturday.
Mitchell Marsh and his Australian (AUS) team have won all three games so far by playing immaculate cricket. Their sole stumbling block came in the first encounter against Oman, when they were troubled for the first ten overs. Australia has been the team to keep an eye on this season once they established their footing.
Scotland (SCO) has demonstrated to the rest of the world why they were dubbed the “dark horses” of the Twenty20 World Cup. The Scots began the tournament against archrivals England, but were forced to share points after the game was abandoned due to weather. With victories over Oman and Namibia, the Scots now have a good chance of progressing to the next stage.
T20 World Cup 2024, 35th Match, AUS vs SCO
Venue: Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia
Date & Time: Sunday, June 16, 06:00 AM
Pitch Report: The T20 World Cup is being contested here for the first time with this match. The hitters have had excellent success on the field at Darren Sammy Stadium. It is logical to expect that the side batting first will want to bat first and take advantage of the seam and swinging conditions under lights, but this year the bowlers have had their say with the fresh wickets on offer.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI
Australia (AUS): Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh (C), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa
Scotland (SCO): George Munsey, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington (c), Matthew Cross (wk), Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Chris Sole, Brad Wheal, Safyaan Sharif
