AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I 2024 Squad News
Scotland
Scotland’s performance in the 1st T20I was disappointing, and they will be eager to bounce back. To address their recent struggles, Scotland may consider a few changes. Chris Greaves is a potential addition to bolster the middle order and offer extra bowling options. Another possibility is Safyaan Sharif, who could bring additional pace to the attack and strengthen the lower order.
Australia
Australia demonstrated their strength with a dominant win in the 1st T20I, by scoring record-breaking 113 runs in the powerplay overs. While the core of the team is likely to remain unchanged, some rotation might be considered to manage player workloads and explore different combinations. Nathan Ellis or Cooper Connolly could be included in place of one of the main bowlers. Aaron Hardie might also be given a chance to test various middle-order combinations and add depth to the all-rounder options.

AUS vs SCO 2nd T20I 2024 Pitch Report
Over the past five years, Australia has enjoyed a strong record at Grange Cricket Club, securing 2 wins, while Scotland has yet to win at this venue. The pitch is generally favorable for batting, providing a good surface for batsmen to accumulate runs. However, pace bowlers can also benefit from the conditions, especially if the weather remains overcast. The overcast conditions can offer swing and seam movement, making it challenging for the batsmen.
In the last five T20Is played at this venue, the average number of runs scored per inning is 170. Of the 67 total wickets taken, 49 have been claimed by pacers, while spinners have accounted for 18 wickets. This distribution highlights the effectiveness of pace bowlers at this ground, although spinners can still play a crucial role.
Historically, teams winning the toss have chosen to bowl first 70% of the time, reflecting the advantage of favorable bowling conditions. Despite this, teams bowling first have only won 33.33% of matches, indicating that batting first can still be a successful strategy, depending on the pitch conditions and weather at the time of the game.
