SCO vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Scotland will be playing for the pride when they take on Australia in the 3rd and final T20I match at The Grange Club, in Edinburgh, Scotland on Saturday. The match is scheduled to start at 06:30 PM (IST) on September 07, 2024.
Scotland cricket team suffered another brunt of batting masterclass. This time it was Josh Inglis. Australia’s wicket-keeper batsman showed why he is being backed by Cricket Australia in the white-ball format. The 29-year-old produced an absolute show for the crow present at The Grange Club and for all watching the action on their screen. He scored 103 runs off just 49 balls. That’s around 53% contribution to Australia’s 194-run total, which he faced only 41% legitimate deliveries out of Australia’s quota of overs. Truly magnificent.
The gulf between two teams’ cricket is obvious, but against an under-strength Aussie team, Scotland can put up more fight, or least the hosts should take the game deeper than what they have managed in the first two matches so far.
