Scotland is all set to clash with Australia in their next match of the ongoing series. AUS vs SCO games take place on Friday, September 6 at Scotland's home ground Edinburg Stadium.
Led by Richie Berrington in the series, Scotland failed to showcase a marvelous performance. At a high-scoring ground, they were bowled out for just 154-9 in 20 overs.
They might make a few changes in the playing 11 or keep the same team. Below we glance at their predicted playing 11 for the match.
George Munsey will open the innings for Scotland in the next T20I too. He got out for 28 in the last match with 3 sixes and 2 fours.
Brandon McMullen will be the name to look out for in the squad. He shattered a 60-run knock against Australia in the ICC T20 WC clash and it was his knock that gave a big blow to Australia in the match.
Michael Jones will be the other opener for Scotland for the match. He has mustered 223 runs in 10 T20I games at 138+ strike rate and 1 fifty.

Richie Berrington leads the side in the T20I series and will lead the side in the next game too. He got out for 23 in the last match.
Matthew Cross will be the wicketkeeper for the side in the second game too against Australia. He is the most experienced keeper in their squad and the team cannot risk benching him.
He will be retained in the next game too. He got out cheaply for 7 runs to Adam Zampa but the team will give him more games to showcase his strength against Australia.

Mark Watt will retain his place in the playing 11 and do what he is good at helping the team with his spin attack and scoring some runs.
Jack Jarvis will be another all-rounder in the playing 11 but he is a medium pacer who can snatch wickets with his seam attack. He was highly expensive in the last game but the team will give him more chances in the next ones.
Charlie Cassell bowled only 1 over in the last match and was hit for 19 runs. However, Scotland will retain him one more time and allow him to make a comeback in the next game.

Jasper Davidson gave away 15 runs in 1 over in the last match but the team did not try him for more overs due to Travis Head's torture while batting. Davidson might get another opportunity.
Brad Wheal would attack from the right-arm variation and would look to come up with a better show. Wheat gave away 39 runs in 2 overs at an economy of 19.50.
