AUS vs SCT Match Preview
Australia boasts of a strong opening pair in the form of Travis Head and David Warner. The latter was in excellent form with the bat and is the leading run-getter for the team Marcus Stoinis will be the player to watch out for in the middle order as he has already scored a half-century earlier in the tournament.
However, the other batsmen including Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade, and Tim David are relatively untested. Coming to the bowling, Adam Zampa bowled a brilliant spell in the last match, picking up a four-for.
He will lead the spin attack, while Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Ellis are likely to feature in the seam department.
The top order has been pretty consistent for Scotland in this tournament. George Munsey, Michael Jones, and Brandon McMullen have all contributed with the bat to give the team a strong start. Should any one of them fail to get going, Scotland also has some experienced batsmen in the middle order to fall back on, including Richie Berrington, Michael Leask, and Matthew Cross.
Scotland's bowling hasn’t been the best and that could be one of the weak spots for them, especially as they face a strong batting line-up. Brad Wheal is the leading wicket-taker for them with 4 wickets, while Christopher Sole, Safyaan Sharif, and Chris Greaves have 2 wickets each.
Weather Report
