MATCH: Australia vs Scotland
DATE: Jun 16, 2024
TIME: 06:00 IST / 0:30 GMT
VENUE: Darren Sammy Stadium – Gros Islet, Saint Lucia
TOURNAMENT: T20 World Cup 2024
Both teams from Group B enter the game undefeated, with the outcome determining one team’s continued unbeaten streak and the other team’s first loss, barring a rain-abandonment or unforeseen circumstances leading to match cancellation.
Australia, having opted to bat first in only one of their last five T20Is leading up to their final group-stage fixture, are likely to prefer bowling first if they win the toss. This decision is influenced by the formidable challenge posed by teams like India, Afghanistan, and possibly Bangladesh, all of whom possess a diverse array of spin bowlers in their respective rosters.
Scotland, though considered underdogs against the formidable Australians, are unlikely to allow Australia to appear overwhelmingly dominant, particularly given the crucial nature of this match for both teams. If England defeat Namibia and Scotland lose to Australia, it would secure England’s advancement and Scotland’s non-progression to the Super Eight stage. Therefore, the match against Australia is imperative for Scotland to win.

The weather forecast predicts only a slight chance of showers.
