Australia completed a dominant series sweep against Scotland in the third T20 match on Saturday, thanks to a stellar performance from all-rounder Cameron Green. Green’s contributions with both bat and ball were instrumental in securing the victory.
Green first shone with the ball, picking up three crucial wickets for 35 runs. His efforts helped restrict Scotland to a modest total of 149 for nine. Despite Brandon McMullen’s valiant effort with a 39-ball 56, the Scottish batsmen lacked adequate support. Sean Abbott and Aaron Hardie also chipped in with two wickets each.
Chasing a target of 150, Australia started their innings with a slight wobble, losing openers Travis Head and Jake Fraser-McGurk early. However, Green stepped up to the challenge, smashing an unbeaten 62 off just 39 deliveries, including five of Australia’s eight sixes. His powerful hitting, coupled with Hardie’s crucial boundary in the 17th over, helped Australia reach the target at 153 for four.
Green’s heroics earned him the Player of the Match award and cemented Australia’s dominance in the series. They now move on to their eight-game white-ball tour of England, which begins with a T20I in Southampton on Wednesday. This series promises to be a much tougher challenge for the Australians, as they face a strong English team on home soil.
