AUS vs SCO 3rd T20I: It is less than 24 hours and Australia have defeated Scotland twice at their home and this was a clean sweep for Australia in the three-match T20I Series.

It was Travis Head in the first T20I, Josh Inglis in the second T20I, and this time it was Cam Green who took his team home comfortably. Australia defeated Scotland by 6 wickets in the third and the last T20I.

Let's take a look at the match highlights of AUS vs SCO 3rd T20I:

AUS vs SCO 3rd T20I Match Highlights

Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first, with Scotland getting off to a brisk start, accumulating 54 runs during the powerplay despite losing both openers. Brandon McMullen once again stood out with the bat, delivering an array of stylish shots. Scotland?s No. 3 notched up his third fifty against Australia in just four innings, and his second in two days.

However, McMullen received little support from his teammates, mirroring the previous day?s performance. His dismissal?courtesy of a superb catch by Travis Head?marked a turning point for Scotland. The team?s scoring rate plummeted, managing just 17 runs in the final four overs while losing four wickets, leaving them with a total of 149 on the board.

In response, Scotland?s bowlers made an early impact, exploiting swing to dismiss Jake Fraser-McGurk for a duck. Travis Head followed shortly after, leaving Australia at 45/2 at the end of the powerplay. Cam Green and Mitch Marsh stabilized the chase for Australia despite the early setbacks.

Though Marsh?s knock of 31 was unconvincing, ending with him chopping a ball onto his stumps, Green anchored the innings with an unbeaten 62. His all-around performance shone through, complementing his earlier bowling figures of 3/35, which had restricted Scotland.
