Australia vs Scotland, T20 World Cup 2024: Prediction
It is not an important match for Australia in the context of the tournament but nevertheless, a good practice against an in-form Scotland team ahead of the Super Eight stages.
On the other hand, Scotland will be desperate to win and as a result, hope to give their best shot against the world champions with a strong top-order batting and a potentially good bowling attack, which includes fast bowlers like Brad Wheal and quality left-arm spinner, Mark Watt.
The experience of George Munsey and Richie Berrington will be key in this crucial match. For Australia, captain Mitchell Marsh will return to St Lucia, a venue where he has had a good record in his career.
