AUS vs SCT Team Previews

Australia

Australia seems to be continuing from where it left off in the ODI World Cup. With 3 wins in 3 matches, they are one of the first teams to qualify for the next stage.

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.

Australia Expected Playing 11

Scotland

Scotland has put up a spirited performance thus far. With 2 wins and a washed-out match, the team is sitting second on the points table with an excellent NRR. If they do manage to upset Australia, Scotland will make it to the Super 8.

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.

AUS vs SCT Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Daren Sammy Stadium favors the batsmen during the first half. The batsmen can make use of the consistent pace and bounce to play their shots. The average first-inning score in the last 5 matches played here is around 175.

However, the pitch becomes two-paced during the second innings, and the spinners will come into action.

The weather will be humid with a temperature of around 28 degrees.
