In St Lucia, Australia clinched their spot in the T20 World Cup Super 8s after defeating Scotland by a narrow margin. The rain-interrupted match between England and Namibia earlier in the day meant that Scotland needed a win to advance, while Australia had already secured their place in the next stage.
Despite an early setback when Michael Jones was dismissed for just two runs, Brandon McMullen played a fantastic innings, scoring 60 runs off just 34 balls. He was supported by George Munsey, who added 35 runs, and captain Richie Berrington, who contributed 42 runs, leading Scotland to post the highest total made against Australia by an associate team.
In response, Australia faced early setbacks with David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Glenn Maxwell falling cheaply. Scotland seemed poised for an upset victory, but Travis Head and Marcus Stoinis played crucial roles in turning the match around. Tim David sealed the win for Australia with a powerful six, breaking Scottish hearts and ensuring that England’s World Cup title defense remains alive.
