Scotland vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Match Prediction - Who will win today’s match between SCO vs AUS?
Australia won the first match convincingly by seven wickets with 10.2 overs to spare.
The Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh will host the second T20I between Scotland (SCO) and Australia (AUS) in the three-match series on Friday, September 6.
While there was a huge mismatch between the two sides on paper, fans would have expected Scotland to put up a stronger fight than they did in the first T20I on Wednesday, September 4. After Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to bowl first, the hosts got off to a decent start as they scored 56 runs for the loss of two wickets in the powerplay. However, Australia ruled the roost through the middle overs and eventually restricted Scotland to 154/9 in their 20 overs.
In reply, the tourists got off to a forgettable start as young Jake Fraser-McGurk, who was on T20I debut, was dismissed off the third ball of the innings. However, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh put the Scottish bowlers to the sword, stitching a mind-boggling partnership of 113 runs off just 34 balls. Head top-scored with a 25-ball 80, while Marsh made 39 off only 12 deliveries. In the end, Josh Inglis (27* off 13 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (8* off 5 balls) took the Aussies home with seven wickets in hand and 62 balls to spare.
Scotland will look to pull off a major upset to stay afloat in the series. Meanwhile, Australia will be hoping to bag the series with a win on Friday.

Probable Top Performers from SCO vs AUS
Probable Best Batter: Travis Head
Travis Head's wicket will be the key for Scotland because if the southpaw gets going, he could knock the wind out of the opposition's sail in a jiffy. He is in scintillating form and the Scotland bowlers will have to come out with better plans to stop the 30-year-old.
Probable Best Bowler: Adam Zampa
Adam Zampa didn't have his best game in the first T20I but he managed to pick up a couple of wickets. The leg-spinner finished with figures of 2/33 in four overs, bagging the wickets of captain Richie Berrington and the dangerous Michael Leask. The Scotland batters will have to be wary of Zampa's wicket-taking ability.
