Scotland are set to host Australia for the first time in the shortest format. This time, the two teams will compete in a three-match T20I series, scheduled from September 4 to 7, with all games taking place at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh.
Scotland’s strong squad under Richie Berrington
Led by Richie Berrington, Scotland has named a formidable squad for the series. The batting lineup, featuring Berrington, George Munsey, Michael Jones and Matthew Cross, is expected to provide a solid foundation. In the bowling department, experienced players like Chris Greaves, Brad Wheal, Christopher Sole and Mark Watt will lead the attack.
Australia’s new-look squad for the series
Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, will embark on their first assignment since the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, where they fell short of reaching the semi-finals. The squad includes exciting young talents like Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Xavier Bartlett and Jake Fraser-McGurk, who might get an opportunity to showcase their skills. The experienced core of the team includes Marsh, Travis Head, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Adam Zampa.

Grange Cricket Club Pitch Report
The surface at Grange Cricket Club is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early on, seamers are likely to benefit from some lateral movement with the new ball. As the match progresses, the pitch is anticipated to settle, allowing batters to play their strokes more freely once they are set.
