T20 World Cup: Australia end Scotland’s dream run with close win as England qualify for Super 8s

Tim David’s six off the last ball against Scotland served two purposes – helped Australia end their dream run at the T20 World Cup by beating them by five wickets and seeing their old foes, England, qualify for the Super 8 stage.

The defending champions were on the brink of a shock T20 WC exit after the first two matches but returned to winning ways in style by beating Oman and Namibia convincingly in their last two games. That, however, wasn’t enough, as they needed Australia’s help to see them through. Thanks to a combined team effort against a spirited Scottish Team, Australia won the game and helped England enter the next round.
