Scotland make five changes and bowl; Australia bring in Hardie

Toss Scotland chose to bowl vs Australia

On Wednesday, Australia romped home in their chase of 155 with 62 balls to spare. Scotland reacted by making as many as five changes to their XI. They left out opening batter Ollie Hairs, keeper Matt Cross, and fast bowlers Jack Jarvis, Charlie Cassell and Jasper Davidson. Cassell and Davidson made their T20I debuts on Wednesday, while Jarvis conceded an extraordinary nine boundaries in just 10 balls to finish with 0 for 45 in 1.4 overs.

The players who came in were opener Michael Jones, keeper Charlie Tear, seamers Chris Sole and Brad Currie, and legspinner Chris Greaves. Jones and Currie were unavailable for the first T20I as they were playing for Durham and Sussex respectively in the T20 Blast quarter-finals.

Australia, meanwhile, made one change, leaving out fast bowler Riley Meredith and bringing in the seam-bowling allrounder Aaron Hardie.

Scotland: 1 George Munsey, 2 Michael Jones, 3 Brandon McMullen, 4 Richie Berrington (capt), 5 Charlie Tear (wk), 6 Michael Leask, 7 Mark Watt, 8 Chris Greaves, 9 Chris Sole, 10 Brad Currie, 11 Brad Wheal
