Australia made it four out of four on the Group B points table after incapacitating Scotland in a remarkable high-scoring thriller at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia. The outcome also helped defending champions England to qualify for the Super Eight round of the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup.

Here’s the timeline of how AUS vs SCO panned out in St Lucia:


AUS vs SCO Highlights: Munsey, McMullen Lead Fiery Scotland Start Despite Early Wicket

Being put into bat first, Scotland lost opening batter Michael Jones for just two in the first over of the match courtesy of an angling around-the-wicket delivery from Australian new-ball spinner Ashton Agar.

Despite the early setback, George Munsey and number three Brandon McMullen led Scotland’s fiery recovery with an 89-run partnership for the second wicket. Their collective top-order brilliance also helped Scotland reap 54 runs from the opening powerplay.


AUS vs SCO Highlights: Maxwell, Zampa Fight Back For Australia

Australian spinner Glenn Maxwell had George Munsey (35 off 23 balls) caught out at deep midwicket in the ninth over of the innings. Brandon McMullen, who launched six sixes and two boundaries in his 34-ball 60 to take Scotland past the 100-run mark, had his threatening stay at the crease curtailed by Adam Zampa at 111-3 in 11.2 overs.


AUS vs SCO Highlights: Captain Berrington, Cross Take SCO To A Huge 180

Scotland skipper Richie Berrington made 42 unbeaten runs from 31 balls in the backend of the innings to take his team to a competitive 180-5 at the end of their 20 overs.

Wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Cross also contributed with 18 runs from 11 balls before he became Glenn Maxwell’s (2-44) second victim of the evening.


AUS vs SCO Highlights: Warner, Marsh, Maxwell Register Collective Top-Order Failure In Chase

Chasing 181 for a win, Australia lost senior opening batter David Warner for a run to Brad Wheal in just the second over of the innings. Captain Mitchell Marsh at number three also followed suite after he mistimed a pull off Safyaan Sharif.

Dangerman Glenn Maxwell launched a six before he was cleaned up Mark Watt as Australia slipped to 60-3 in 8.2 overs to concede early advantage to Scotland bowlers.


AUS vs SCO Highlights: Travis Head, Stoinis Blast Match-Defining 50s To Take AUS Home

Amidst tumbling top-order wickets, Australian opener Travis Head unleashed five boundaries and four sixes during his 80-run match-defining stand with Marcus Stoinis. Head ended up tonking 68 runs from 49 balls to set the tone of Australia’s fightback, while Stoinis pummeled 29-ball 59 before becoming Mark Watt’s second wicket of the run-chase.

Following their sudden dismissals, Tim David and Matthew Wade effortlessly wiped off the remaining runs to take Australia home with a couple of deliveries to spare.
