Australia has been a dominant force in the competition, and even with a few players rested, they'll likely field a formidable team. Scotland, however, has shown impressive form and can't be ruled out of pulling off a historic upset. A win would secure their spot in the next T20 World Cup and the Super Eight stage. Scotland's top order, led by George Munsey, packs a punch, while captain Richie Berrington provides a steadying influence in the middle order.
The partnership between Berrington and Leask was instrumental in their victory over Namibia. Australia has the luxury of looking ahead to the Super Eight stage, where they'll face stiff competition from Afghanistan, India, and possibly Bangladesh. They may choose to rotate players for this match, having stated their aim to give every squad member game time. The two teams last met in the 2015 ODI World Cup, with Australia emerging victorious by seven wickets. Leask believes this could work in Scotland's favor, as Australia may underestimate their capabilities, given their current form.
Squads:
Australia Squad: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh(c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Ashton Agar, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green
Scotland Squad: George Munsey, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington(c), Matthew Cross(w), Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Christopher Sole, Safyaan Sharif, Brad Wheal, Bradley Currie, Ollie Hairs, Jack Jarvis, Charlie Tear
