Grange Cricket Club Edinburgh Pitch Report For Australia Vs Scotland 1st T20I

Australia will take on Scotland in 1st T20I [X]

On Wednesday, Australia will cross swords against Scotland in the first T20I of the upcoming three-match series at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh. Led by Mitchell Marsh, Australia have a robust squad, studded with dynamic players throughout the line-up. While Jake Fraser-McGurk and Travis Head form one of the most lethal opening pairs, Josh Inglis, Tim David Cameron Green and Marcus Stoinis will be crucial for Australia in the middle order. 

Talking about Scotland, the hosts will start as the underdogs in the series. However, they have several match-winners, particularly George Munsey, Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross and Michael Leask. The eyes will also be on all-rounder Brandon McMullen, who stunned Australia with a scintillating knock in the T20 World Cup earlier this year. 

Grange Cricket Club Edinburgh Pitch Report

The surface at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh offers favourable batting conditions. The new ball might move a bit off the pitch, but the batters will capitalise on the track’s pace and bounce to score some brisk runs after getting set. 

As it’s late summer in the UK, the spinners might get a hint of turn across both innings. However, as it’s the first game of the series, expect a relatively fresh deck for this match. 

The average run rate at the venue is 8.16, suggesting that the pitch is conducive to batting. Therefore, considering the playing conditions, the toss-winner will likely field first.
