Australia will face Scotland at St Lucia’s Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Sunday morning AEST for its final group-stage match of the T20 World Cup.
The match is essentially a dead rubber for the undefeated Australians, who have already booked their spot in the Super Eights, while Scotland needs nothing less than a victory to keep their T20 World Cup campaign alive.

If Australia emerges as victory, then England will join them in the Super Eights stage, knocking Scotland out of the tournament.
“When you go out and play you’re trying your best every time. And if you’re not, it’s probably against the spirit of cricket,” Australian bowler Pat Cummins told reporters in St Lucia this week.
“I don’t think you can (go into a game not trying to win) — ever. You’re playing an international game in the middle of a World Cup.
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to bowl first. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have been rested for the match.
