Scotland and Australia were facing off in the second match of the T20I series at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Aussies were coming into this game after destroying the home team in the first match of the series. 

The Scottish bowlers took a hammering from Travis Head and Micthell Marsh in the first game of the series. They would have hoped for a better show in this match, especially in overcast and seam-friendly conditions. 

Josh Inglis came up the order and changed the complexion of the match

The home team made a great start to the game as they picked up two early wickets and the Aussies on the mat. Josh Inglis was promoted to number three in the order and made full use of the opportunity he got. Inglis was severe on the Scottish bowler from the very first ball of his knock, and his counter-attacking brand of batting changed the complexion of the game and put the Aussies in the driver's seat in the game. 

The way Inglis was batting, it looked like he was playing on a different pitch than the other batters. He brought up a brilliant hundred in the 18th over of the innings with two back-to-back sixes against Bradley Currie. Inglis reached the milestone in just 43 deliveries, which now stands as the fastest T20I hundred by an Australian batter. He beat his own record of scoring a hundred off just 47 deliveries against India. His knock ensured that Australia reached a formidable total of 196/4 in their 20 overs.
