SCO vs AUS 2024 Pitch Report

The Grange Club in Edinburgh tends to provide considerable assistance to fast bowlers, with something on offer for the batters as well. In the first T20I of the series hosted by the venue, Scotland amassed a competitive 154-run total upfront, only for it to be gunned down by Australia with utmost ease. The average first innings total in the venue has turned out to be 169 so far after hosting 25 T20Is. Considering the overall record, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Fantasy value from the pitch report

  • It is imperative to pick three frontline fast bowlers and two additional medium pacers on this surface. A specialist spinner will also come in handy, especially during the middle overs.
  • The ball will be expected to come in nicely onto the bat, which makes this surface an ideal arena for explosive batters to go berserk from the outset.

SCO vs AUS 2024 Fantasy Cricket Tips

  • Scotland’s left-arm spinner Mark Watt was the only bowler who was not butchered to smithereens during the opening assault of Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh in the first T20I. Moreover, Watt halted the Australian juggernaut with two wickets in two overs.

Australia Heavy Fantasy XI

SCO vs AUS 2024 Top Player Picks

George Munsey (SCO)

  • A veteran of 72 T20I matches, George Munsey has listed over 2,000 runs for Scotland at a prolific average of nearly 32. The attacking left-handed opening batter has maintained a staggering strike-rate of 143.74, and even made his presence felt against Australia at the top of the order in the first T20I.

Mark Watt (SCO)

  • Mark Watt picked up two wickets, including that of dangerman Travis Head, during Australia’s turbulent run-chase from the first T20I.

Travis Head (AUS)

  • Firebrand Australian opener Travis Head hammered down 80 runs from just 25 deliveries in the first T20I. The explosive left-handed batter is currently averaging 34.17 and striking at 156.80 in T20I cricket.

Adam Zampa (AUS)

  • Ace Australian spinner Adam Zampa added two wickets to his illustrious T20I tally by seizing figures of 2-33 from four overs in the first match. The 88-match veteran continues to remain Australia’s primary spin exponent in the middle overs.

SCO vs AUS 2024 Differential Picks

Brandon McMullen (SCO)

  • While Brandon McMullen failed to make much impact in the series opener, he scorched the Australian bowling attack with a 34-ball 60 a couple of months ago at the 2024 T20 World Cup. The all-rounder will be hoping to recreate his batting blitz in a bid to lead Scotland’s fightback.

Mitchell Marsh (AUS)
