Australia finished their group stage with a five-wicket win over Scotland. The Scottish side showcased some great batting with Brandon McMullen and Richie Berrington taking them to 180/5 whereas Travis Head and Marcus Stionisā half-century dashed Scotlandās hope for the Super Eight stage.

Australia got off to a poor start as David Warner failed to make an impact and was dismissed in just the second over. However, Marsh and Travis Head steadied the innings with a resilient partnership, adding 32 runs and pushing the score to 34/1 after five overs. Scotland's bowling showed promise when Safyaan Sharif removed the Australian captain in the sixth over. Despite this setback, Maxwell and Head held their ground guiding Australia to 59/2 by the eighth over. Scotland's disciplined bowling continued to trouble the Australians, highlighted by Mark Watt's dismissal of Glenn Maxwell in the ninth over, causing concern for the 2021 champions. The momentum began to swing Australia's way as Marcus Stoinis and Head built a crucial 61-run partnership, advancing the score to 121/3 by the 15th over. With 60 runs needed from the final five overs, Australia was eager for a strong finish. Head, scoring a half-century off 46 balls, played a pivotal role amidst their chase. However, Scotland regained hope when Sharif dismissed Head in the 16th over, bringing Tim David to the crease. Stoinis accelerated the chase with a rapid fifty off 25 balls, reducing the equation to 36 runs required from four overs. Yet, Watt intervened once more, claiming Stoinis's wicket in the 17th over after a vital 59 runs off 29 deliveries. Ultimately, Tim David's late cameo of 24 off 14 balls, sealed the victory for Australia clinching a five-wicket win over Scotland. With this loss, Scotland is eliminated from the group stage, while England and Australia advance from Group B to the Super Eight.Ā

Field set up is poor..
Ordinary fielding..
Batting in death overs is not good
