Scotland vs Australia, 1st T20I: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

Scotland are all set to host Australia for the first time since the one-off ODI in 2013. This time, it will be a three-match T20I series from September 4 to 7. Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh will be hosting all the games.

Scotland’s last assignment in the shortest format came at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. They failed to qualify for the Super 8 stage after finishing third in Group B.

Led by Richie Berrington, Scotland have named a strong side to face Australia in the T20I series. Berrington, George Munsey, Michael Jones and Matthew Cross form a solid batting line-up. Chris Greaves, Brad Wheal, Christopher Sole and Mark Watt are the experienced bowlers in the side.

The upcoming series will be a great opportunity for the Scots to show that they belong and they will be looking to bring out their A game on Wednesday to start on a winning note.

A new-look Australia, on the other hand, will be led by Mitchell Marsh. This will be their first assignment after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 where they failed to make it to the semis.

Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Xavier Bartlett and Jake Fraser-McGurk have been called up to the national T20 side. We may see the management give these exciting players a chance to shine.

The experienced players in Marsh, Travis Head, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Adam Zampa form the rest of the squad. They have a formidable squad and start as favorites series.
