Australia and Scotland make their way to the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh for the first T20I of their three-match series. The match will take place on Wednesday, September 4th at 7:00 PM IST. Australia is playing for the first time since their dismal run in the T20 World Cup which saw them lose to India by 24 runs. For Scotland, it’s also their first match after the World Cup and they will want to make an impact back home.
Match Preview:
Australia's T20 World Cup campaign was marked by heartbreak after they were beaten by India in a tight match. The opportunity for Australia to regroup and create momentum before heading off to England for three T20Is and five ODIs lies within this series against Scotland. With key players such as Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc who have been given rest, the home side will be testing their bench strength while giving new combinations a run.
Conversely, Scotland will want to continue their good work from the World Cup. They had their first ever T20I match against Australia during the last tournament. Scotland stood up against them bravely then; they made 180 runs with five wickets down at that time and were able to achieve that with important contributions from George Munsey, Brandon McMullen and captain Richie Berrington. Although they eventually lost by five wickets, it was an indication of how much progress they were making in this short game.
Series Overview:
The T20Is on the 4th, 6th and 7th of September are more than just a contest between Australia and Scotland but serve as a dress rehearsal for the Aussies ahead of their tour to England. This series will allow Australia to finalize their combinations, try out fringe players or boost their confidence before they take on England in high-profile matches.
For Scotland, this is an opportunity to test themselves against one amongst the best teams globally. Having been categorized as the underdogs, they have chance to cause an upset considering it is played at home where they feel more confident after recent performances.
