<p><strong>AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I:</strong> The mighty Australian Team slaughtered the Scottish team in the second T20I. This could not be the right match for Scotland as they were never in the contest in both the T20Is. Australia defeated Scotland in the second T20I by 70 runs. </p>



<p>The young Australian wicket-keeper-batter Josh Inglis struck an outstanding 43-ball half-century smashing the Scottish bowler as if they were a secondary school's kids. Let's take a look at the AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I match highlights.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I Match Highlights</strong></h2>



<p>Scotland made a strong start after choosing to bowl, with Bradley Currie striking early to dismiss both Australian openers, including the key wicket of Travis Head for a golden duck. Josh Inglis and Cam Green then stabilized the innings with a 92-run partnership, with Inglis taking an aggressive approach from the start.</p>



<p>Despite <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/24701/bradley-currie">Currie</a> returning to break the partnership, Inglis powered ahead to become the fastest Australian to score a T20I century. Sole contributed with tight overs and managed to remove Inglis, while Tim David's late cameo helped Australia post a challenging 196 runs.</p>

<p>In response, Scotland's batting line-up faltered, with only two players managing double-digit scores, both from the top three. The team struggled to build momentum, with no batter crossing the 20-run mark, making their chase of 197 an uphill task. McMullen showed some promise with clean hitting down the ground, but his effort lacked support as Scotland kept losing wickets regularly.</p>



<p>Australia's dominance in the game was evident, as they bowled out Scotland for 126, securing a comfortable 70-run victory. Scotland's poor batting display was a key factor in their defeat, though their bowling performance showed some improvement, particularly with Bradley Currie's impact. The arrival of Currie bolstered the Scottish attack, giving them some hope despite their heavy loss.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/mcCmullan.jpg" alt="Brandon McMullan (Getty Images)" class="wp-image-146714" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>Comparing this match to the first game, Scotland's bowling had clearly improved. In the previous match, Australia easily chased down 154, but today, the Scottish bowlers were more disciplined and posed challenges to the Australian batsmen, even managing to slow their run-scoring at times.</p>



<p>Ultimately, while Australia's powerful batting lineup proved too strong, Scotland can take some positives from their bowling effort. However, their batting remains a major concern, as consistent collapses prevented them from mounting a competitive chase against a formidable Australian side.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I Team Scorecard</strong></h2>

AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I: Australia Sealed the T20I Series Against Scotland; All Eyes On the Last T20I

<p><strong>Josh Inglis:  </strong>In what proves to be a massive news, Australia's hard hitting wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis has been appointed as the captain for the T20 International series versus Pakistan.Interestingly, the 29-year-old will also handle the leadership duties of the 2023 ODI World Cup winners in the third and final One Day International as the players picked in the squad for the forthcoming 2024 Border Gavaskar Trophy versus India get ready.</p>



<p>Josh has replaced Cummins as the skipper of the side, who, along with other senior members - Steven Smith, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Starc will be missing the final fixture of the One Day International Series as they prepare themselves for the difficult Team India challenge.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>With regular-captain Cummins getting himself ready and fully prepared for the BGT and regular T20 International skipper Mitchell Marsh missing out due to being on parternity-leave, the selection committee of the Kangaroos have backed Inglis, who has experience of captaining teams in Domestic Cricket.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p class="has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color">"He (Inglis) is an essential member of the T20 International and One Day International teams and he's highly-respected as a player both on &amp; off the Cricket field," George Bailey, Australia's selection-commitee chairperson stated while announcing the changes. </p>
</blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p class="has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color">"He will bring excellent tactical acumen and a positive-approach to the position, having previously captained Australia A," Bailey added.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>In the absence of important-players, the fast bowling duo of Spencer Johnson and Xavier Bartlett along with wicket-keeper batsman Josh Philippe have been added to the squad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Australia hoping to clinch the series in the 2nd One Day International match</strong></h2>



<p>In what proved to be a low-scoring thriller and a nail-biting contest, the home side managed to finish out on top by a margin of two wickets in the opening fixture of the three-match series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.</p>



<p>Batting first, the Mohammad Rizwan-led team managed to post a score of just 203 runs on the board as the Australian bowling unit wrecked havoc.</p>



<p>Babar (37 runs) and skipper Rizwan (44 runs) showed some retaliation and thanks to a late cameo with the bat by Naseem Shah, the Green Shirts managed to post an average-total on the score board.</p>



<p>However, the Pakistani bowlers created a nightmare for the Aussie batters as right arm pacer Haris Rauf dismissed three batters to turn the match in the favor of his team. But, much to the dismay of the Shaheen supporters, captain Pat Cummins maintained his composure and played an unbeaten knock of 32 runs in 31 deliveries to help his team end the match on a winning note. Now, with the senior-players given some rest for the final match of the series, the Kangaroos will be looking to clinch the ODI series by winning the second match.</p>

Josh Inglis takes Pat Cummins' position as Australia's white-ball captain versus Pakistan for the 3rd ODI and T20i series

<p><strong>AUS vs ENG: </strong>Australia have made a winning start to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 defeating England at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The five-wicket win against England have earned them two valuable points and for England, the two remaining games are now just knock-outs. </p>
<p><strong></strong>Even with the depleted side, Australia managed the win thanks to a heroic ton from Josh Inglis and crucial innings from the middle order. England would feel disappointed and they were a bit unlucky today as well. </p>
<h2><strong>AUS vs ENG Match Summary</strong></h2>
<p>The absence of Pat Cummins led Steven Smith to captain the Australian side and straight forward, he made the right call at the toss. The team dealing with heavy losses due to injured players and Australia's bowling was looking pretty weak already. On the other hand, England arrived well-prepared, having gained valuable match practice in India before the tournament. With a settled squad and a clear playing XI, they had the advantage of stability and momentum heading into the competition.</p>
<p><strong>AUSTRALIA Playing11-</strong> Matthew Short, Travis Head, Steven Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson</p>
<p><strong>ENGLAND Playing11- </strong>Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith (wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood</p>
<h2><strong>England's Innings- 351/8 (50 overs)</strong></h2>
<p>England’s innings began on a shaky note as Phil Salt fell early, followed by Jamie Smith, leaving them at 43-2 inside the powerplay. However, Joe Root and Ben Duckett built a solid partnership, taking England past 200 and putting Australia under pressure.</p>
<p>Just when England seemed in control, Adam Zampa dismissed Root at the end of the 30th over, shifting the momentum. Harry Brook fell cheaply soon after, leaving England at 219-4. Ben Duckett, in the process, scored the first-ever 150-run score in the Champions Trophy. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ba0507ec70a.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Jos Buttler showed intent but was removed by Glenn Maxwell before he could make a major impact. Livingstone got a start but couldn’t carry on, while Duckett, who held the innings together, also departed in the death overs.</p>
<p>With wickets falling, England struggled to accelerate, losing Brydon Carse late. However, a crucial cameo from Jofra Archer propelled them past 350, setting up a strong total. With the pitch slowing down, England’s bowlers will need to be sharp, as Australia faces a challenging chase.</p>
<h2><strong>Australia's Chase- 356/5 (47.3 overs)</strong></h2>
<p>With Archer and Wood charging in, all eyes were on the speed gun. However, Australia matched England’s aggressive start, racing to 21 runs in the first three overs. But just like their opponents, they lost early wickets, with Travis Head and Steven Smith falling cheaply.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ba050daeff8.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Despite the setbacks, Australia made good use of the powerplay, reaching 76 runs with Matt Short and Marnus Labuschagne at the crease. Labuschagne fell just short of a half-century, dismissed for 47 by Adil Rashid, and Short followed soon after his 63. At 136-4, Australia needed stability, and their wicketkeepers delivered—Josh Inglis and Alex Carey put together a crucial 146-run stand, keeping their chase alive.</p>
<p>Both were equally aggressive in the chase but <span>Brydon Carse got Carey at 69. Josh Inglis stayed at the other end and smoked his first century in just 77 balls and equaled the fastest century in the ICC Champions Trophy (Virendra Sehwag). Australia needed 34 from 30 and the match was heading to a thrilling end.</span></p>
<p><span>Just after Josh's century, Maxwell took Mark Wood on and smashed a six and a four keeping England away from the balance. They both took the team home with no hiccups. The Centurion Josh Inglis finished things off in style with a SIX to Mark Wood. <strong>Australia Defeated England by 5 wickets.</strong></span></p>
