Throw it Australia won the toss and decided to bowl vs In Scotland

A few days last week there was a lot of talk about net run rate shenanigans, but any hopes of that were put to rest by England’s win over Oman. Also, Josh Hazlewood was completely out of context anyway.

Hazlewood is one of two players Australia have rested for this game with Pat Cummins also keeping a close eye on the Super Eight schedule. Mitchell Starc, who missed the Namibia game with a calf niggle, returns along with left-arm spinner Ashton Agar’s first outing in the tournament.

It means that for the first time in the tournament, Australia will have two top spinners with Agar working with Adam Zampa assisted by Glenn Maxwell. Cameron Green and Josh Inglis are two players who will not be seen before the Super Eight.

“Probably, in an ideal world, you’d like to find a balance of being able to give everybody a game but you need to work that out by making sure you give the guys who are playing the prep that they need and the opportunity to be able to keep the rhythm and progress,” chief selector George Bailey told reporters in St Lucia. let’s see if we can give Greeny a game’, but we’re sure he’s in a good place. And if he needs to come in, his career in the IPL will catch him. “

Scotland will be aiming for a sensational win after Mitchell Marsh won the toss. Richie Berrington has named an unchanged XI which means Safyaan Sharif retains his place ahead of Brad Currie.

“For us, it’s beyond our control,” Berrington said when asked about watching the rain fall earlier in Antigua. “We knew we had to beat the best teams to win.
