In a boisterous start to their three-match T20I series, Australia emerged victorious over Scotland in the opening encounter, beating the host by seven wickets. The second T20I is again expected to churn out exciting action as both teams face off in the second game on Friday at Grange Cricket Club, Edinburgh. 

Australia's performance in the first game was commanding. After Scotland set a total of (154) runs, the Australian side achieved it with remarkable efficiency, chasing down the total in just (9.4) overs. A significant contributor to this swift victory was Travis Head, whose explosive innings of (80) runs set the tone for Australia's chase. Head's innings was a display of aggressive batting, blazing 12 fours and 5 sixes.

Scotland, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back. Despite their defeat, they fought hard, showcasing their competitive spirit. Their batting efforts were brilliant but they were ultimately unable to contain Australia’s aggressive approach. Scotland will be focused on levelling the series, while Australia would look to seal the series win. 

AUS probable XI: Travis Head, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mitchell Marsh (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Riley Meredith

SCO probable XI: George Munsey, Ollie Hairs, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington (c), Matthew Cross (wk), Michael Leask, Mark Watt, Jack Jarvis, Charlie Cassell, Jasper Davidson, Brad Wheal
