SCO vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Scotland will have their task cut out when they play Australia in the 2nd T20I match at The Grange Club, in Edinburgh, Scotland on Friday. The match is scheduled to start at 06:30 PM (IST) on September 06, 2024.
The first T20I match unfolded more or less out of the cricket books. The underdog, or the David, tried fighting, as Scotland posted a decent 154-run target after asked to bat by Australia captain Mitchell Marsh, but the Goliath, eventually, reined in and showed the immense gulf between the two cricket nation.
Despite losing opening batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk, who was also making his T20I, Australia were relentless, owing to the no hold bar approach from Travis Head. The left-handed superstar smashed every Scottish bowler all around the park, without having a second thought. It was brutal from ball one as Head scored 80 runs off just 25 balls. Captain Mitchell Marsh also didn’t any ball as he rushed to 39 runs off just 12 balls. The chase was done and dusted in just 9.4 overs.

SCO vs AUS Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: The first match was a good example of the nature of the pitch at The Grange Club in Edinburgh, Scotland. The surface is balanced one where bowlers and batsmen can enjoy showcasing their skills. All about adjustment to the bounce, but the spinners can also come into the play. More than the pitch, it’s all about the quality of players and Australia, as we know, are absolutely top tier. So the first innings score depend on whether Australia bat first or bowl. If Scotland bat first, expect the score anywhere between 145-165 runs.
