When Australia and Scotland play in the 35th ICC T20 World Cup 2024 match on Sunday, June 16, in Gros Islet, they will aim to continue their winning streak.
In their most recent encounter, Australia dominated Namibia by a commanding nine wickets. After an excellent effort by the bowlers to restrict the opposition to 72 runs, Australia was able to chase down the goal in six overs thanks to the opening partnership of Travis Head and David Warner.
However, Scotland continues to be the favorite to qualify for the Super 8 after two victories in three games. England will closely watch this match at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium; a victory or possible washout will solidify their spot.
AUS vs SCO: Top 5 Players to Watch Out For:
David Warner(AUS):
Veteran Australian batsman David Warner continued his impressive tournament play with a fast-bowling score of 39 against England. With 75+ runs scored so far in this series, the left-handed hitter is eager to make the most of his last opportunity to play in Australia.
The opening batsman leads Australia in runs scored during the Twenty20 World Cup and is on the verge of being the first player to score a thousand runs in the competition.
Pat Cummins(AUS):
Pat Cummins was very reliable with the ball; he took 2/23 from his 4 overs and wickets of Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, which was a huge blow to England.
His calm bowling under pressure demonstrates his potential as a key bowler. Being excellent in low light, Cummins will be a huge advantage for Australia, and his skills should provide challenges for the Namibian batters in the upcoming match.
Adam Zampa(AUS):
Adam Zampa played a major role in Australia’s 36-run triumph over England on Saturday. His crucial dismissals of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler altered the game’s trajectory and showed that he could function effectively under pressure.
With his brilliant bowling performance, Zampa proves his worth to the squad and establishes himself as a dangerous opponent to face throughout the match. Due to his skill and precision, he is a thrilling bowler to watch and a vital component of Australia’s campaign.
Bradley Currie(SCO):
The left-arm seamer has been Scotland’s top wicket-taker since 2023. Powerplay has been prevalent in Scotland. Less than ten runs have been lost for each of his 21 wickets. The powerplay has produced 15 of these wickets. Currie’s reliable wicket-taking and economical bowling make him an essential member of the Scotland cricket team. His ball-handling efforts are vital to the team’s success in Twenty20 cricket as they give the bowling attack additional strength and variety.
Brandon McMullen(SCO):
Brandon McMullen will start at number three and bring his strong form with him. McMullen’s talent and dependability are evidenced by his over-200 run total in the past ten games. Because he can lead the inning and drive in a lot of runs, he is an important team player. Based on his recent performances, McMullen is expected to be a valuable asset, providing stability and strength to the batting order in the coming games.
