SCO vs AUS 2024, SCOT vs AUS 1st T20I Match Report, September 04, 2024

Australia won the toss and decided to bowl against In Scotland

Mitchell Marsh won the toss and bowled in what was expected to be a high-scoring field for an inexperienced attack. Riley Meredith will play his first T20I since 2021 after replacing Josh Hazlewood on this leg of the tour.

“It’s an exciting week for everyone in Scottish cricket,” said captain Richie Berrington, adding that he, too, would have bowled first.

Meanwhile, Ellis was recovering from a left hamstring injury he suffered at Hundred. “The medical staff will continue to review his availability based on his progress at each stage of rehabilitation,” Cricket Australia said.

Josh Inglis replaced Matthew Wade as the T20I wicketkeeper and was listed to bat at No. 4 and Cameron Green who came in 7th place. It meant that Cooper Connolly would have to wait for his first game.
