Australia And Scotland Gear Up For T20 World Cup 2024 Clash

Australia will face Scotland in Match 35 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia, on Sunday, June 16. The Group B match is set to begin at 6:00 AM IST.

Scotland will secure a spot in the Super 8 round if they defeat Australia. This outcome would result in defending champions England being eliminated from the tournament. Scotland currently has five points from three matches. England can match this if they beat Namibia on Saturday, thanks to a superior Net Run Rate (NRR).

Australia has already qualified for the Super 8 round after victories over Oman, England, and Namibia.

AUS vs SCO Match Prediction for T20 World Cup 2024

Both Australia and Scotland remain unbeaten in the tournament so far. Scotland's batting has been impressive with scores of 90/0 in 10 overs against England and over 150 runs against both Namibia and Oman. However, their bowling unit is considered a weak link and could be a disadvantage against Australia. Pacer Josh Hazlewood mentioned that losing to Scotland might not be a bad idea as it would result in England's elimination.

AUS vs SCO St Lucia Weather Forecast
