Scotland, seeking redemption after a crushing defeat in the first T20I, opted to bowl first after winning a delayed toss at The Grange. Foggy conditions forced the toss to be postponed by 30 minutes.
In response to their 62-run loss on Wednesday, Scotland made five significant changes to their lineup. Ollie Hairs, Matt Cross, Jack Jarvis, Charlie Cassell, and Jasper Davidson were all omitted.
Michael Jones, Charlie Tear, Chris Sole, Brad Currie, and Chris Greaves were brought in to replace them. Jones and Currie were unavailable for the first T20I due to their commitments in the T20 Blast quarter-finals.
Australia, on the other hand, made only one change, replacing fast bowler Riley Meredith with seam-bowling allrounder Aaron Hardie.
Scotland’s batting lineup features George Munsey, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington, Charlie Tear, Michael Leask, Mark Watt, Chris Greaves, Chris Sole, Brad Currie, and Brad Wheal.
Australia’s batting order consists of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, and Adam Zampa.
Scotland will be eager to bounce back from their disappointing performance in the first match, while Australia will aim to continue their winning streak. The match promises to be an exciting contest between two evenly matched teams.
