ICC Ranking – T20 Batters

1st Match- Scotland vs Australia (The Grange, Edinburgh)

Current T20I Form Scotland:

Scotland are placed at the 13th position on ICC Men’s T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 192.

Scotland are in a fabulous form in white ball cricket. They have won all of their previous 4 (50 overs matches). They can be devastating on their home ground.

Although Scotland will start as underdogs, they cannot be underestimated, especially on their home ground of Grange Cricket Club.
Players to look out for:

1. George Munsey – He showed signs of great form in the recently concluded Global T20 Canada. Munsey can change the course of the match in a matter of few balls. He will play an important role for Scotland in the upcoming matches.

2. Brad Wheal – He is in top notch form in the shortest version of the game. Wheal can provide breakthroughs when the team needs most. He is expected to be the best bowler for Scotland in the upcoming matches.

Current T20I Form Australia:

Australia are currently placed at the 2nd position on ICC Men’s T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 256.

Australia haven’t participated in a bilateral T20I series since ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held recently. They failed to perform to their potential in the mega event. However, with the addition of Jake Fraser McGurk in the squad, it should only provide them wings to fly against Scotland.
Players to look out for:

1. Jake Fraser McGurk – He showed glimpses of his potential in the recently concluded Indian Premier League. McGurk can hit the ball a long way and with him being an exciting prospect in the team, Australia will benefit a lot from his arrival at the top of the order.

2. Adam Zampa– He is one of the best white ball spinners Australia have produced in the last 10 years. Zampa is expected to be Australia’s highest wicket taker this series.
