Pitch Report

- This is the same pitch. A good batting surface and it is holding up well. There is an area on the fuller length to be worry about but if take a stride forward to deal with it, won't be a big problem. This is a good track to bat on and the boundaries to my left & right aren't as big for these batters. So, if you bat first, you want 200-Plus

Commentary

So, Australia get off to a winning start to their tour of the UK by white-washing Scotland in their own backyard. As for the hosts, what they will hope for is more games at this level with teams like the Aussies to learn a whole lot more about the game. The focus for the Mitchell Marsh-led side now shifts to England, where they play some important T20I matches, to go with some critical ODI games as well. Scotland have found a gem in young Brandon McMullen, the all-round cricketer in every sense of the word and Australia's all-round stocks continue to rise by the season! On that note, this is the pair of Pragadeesh and Bidipto taking your leave. You can switch tabs and catch all the action taking place at The Oval between England and Sri Lanka in the 3rd Test match of the series, right here. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Mitchell Marsh (Australia captain): It has been a great week! The players have stepped up really well, especially some of the young guys. We play international cricket in different conditions and to have the fog yesterday was something! But, playing in Scotland and knowing how popular this sport is over here is massive! We have been a bit taken by the fans here, they have been really entertaining!

Richie Berrington (Scotland captain): It's been a tough week result-wise, but to get this opportunity to play against a top team like Australia is massive! We need more of this to learn more. We could have done a lot better, but we thank the crowd for the support they have shown. The margin for error is really small against such a strong team, but Brandon McMullen's quality with both bat and ball and some of the young guys stepping up to the plate were impressive! Credit to Cricket Scotland to get this series on. The more we have it, the better out cricket is going to get.

Cameron Green (Player of the Match) - The players grabbed the opportunities presented to them. I had a lot of fun in the IPL. This is the form of game that everyone loves watching and the players enjoy it as well. Favourte thing to play in Scotland is Golf

Australia win by 6 wickets with 23 balls to spare and they take the series by 3 games to nil!

Cameron Green - 62* (39) and 3/35 (4)
Brandon McMullen 56 (39) | Bradley Currie - 2/20 (3)

This was very much on the cards, but Australia, after stuttering a bit early on against the new ball in overcast conditions, bounced back superbly after the power play as the sun made its presence felt!

Cameron Green enjoyed today's outing with both bat and ball. He followed up his bowling efforts with an unbeaten half-century, glittered with 2 fours and 5 big sixes! Mitchell Marsh and Tim David did their bit to help Green and Aaron Hardie himself struck at over 183 to stay not out.

Bradley Currie did pick up two relatively early wickets, but after that, Scotland were unable to take wickets at regular intervals. The bowling changes were not quite up to scratch and the bowlers themselves did not hit the right lengths on this surface. On the whole, they were given a proper lesson as to how to chase down totals like these!

16.1 Chris Sole to Aaron Hardie, FOUR! Australia complete the clean sweep! Hardie and Green embrace it with a hug. Holds his shape and plays a cracking cover drive to seal things in style

Scores are level. Australia have been ruthless! Absolutely ruthless! It should only be a moment's wait now!

15.6 Mark Watt to Cameron Green, the scores are level! Green doesn't go for a glory hit as he waits and flicks this to wide of long-on to get a couple

15.5 Mark Watt to Cameron Green, fires it full, Green flicks it to the right of long-on. The fielder reaches for it and picks up in one hand but they take a couple

One more big hit can seal the deal right here, right now!

15.4 Mark Watt to Cameron Green, SIX! No problem on this occasion. Green dances down the pitch and gets the length he's after. He thumps this over long-on. Australia are one hit away to complete the clean sweep

15.3 Mark Watt to Cameron Green, SKIES IT...SAFE! Green tries to go big down the ground but the ball goes straight up. The fielder at short third runs forward but couldn't reach closer to the ball

15.2 Mark Watt to Aaron Hardie, drags the length back, Hardie punches it to the left of extra cover for a single

Hardie too means business!

15.1 Mark Watt to Aaron Hardie, FOUR! RACES AWAY! Spears it full, Hardie reverses and sweeps this to the vacant backward point region

Mark Watt [2.0-0-23-0] comes back into the attack.

So only 4 runs and a wicket in the over from Chris Sole, a much better one from Scotland's point of view. But, they needed more of these earlier on. Australia require only 16 more runs here.
