Scotland vs Australia Prediction: Aussies have dominated both the games

Scotland and Australia are going head to head in the third and final game of T20 Series at Grange Cricket Grou꧟nd, Edinburgh, United Kingdom on 7th September 2024. Aussies have dominated both the games in th🐓e series so far. Who will win this game of cricket?

It came as no surprise to anyone to see Scotland ring in a couple of changes - particularly in the bowling group - fo♕llowing the mauling at the hands of Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, and Josh Inglis in the first T20I. The changes made them a far more competitive outfit and there would be no surprise to see Richie Berrington naming an unchanged XI for this game. Br☂andon McMullen boasts of great returns against Australia, averaging 46 against them in this format following his excellent 59 off 42 in the previous game. He will, however, expect a better contribution from colleagues, most of whom recorded single-figure scores in the second T20I with George Munsey being the only one reaching double figures with his 19 off 9 balls. The top-order contributions from Munsey, Berrington and company will be of importance once again for Scotland. Bradley Currie and Mark Watt will spearhead the bowling attack with their quality deliveries but will need support from the rest of the bowlers as well.

Australia have used 12 players in the first two T20Is, bringing Aaron Hardie into the XI in the second game. The only ones who haven't played so far are Nathan Ellis and Cooper Connolly. With the series already won, it's highly likely that Connolly plays his first game on Sunday. Travis Head also ജdidn't get a big score like in the prev🦩ious game, but Scotland shouldn't take him lightly as he is in good form at the moment. Australian bowlers have been quite consistent, with Marcus Stoinis bouncing back with 4/23 in the second T20I after going wicketless in the first.

Despite Scotland side's much better fight in the second T20I on Friday, Australia outplayed them in batting and🀅 bowling. Australia is expected to keep up the high level of intensity on Saturday as well and take home another game, perhaps capturing a series sweep with a 3-0 outcome. Our prediction goes out in favor of an Australia win in this game.
