New Delhi: After an emphatic victory in the first T20I match at Edinburgh, Australia lock horns with Scotland in the second encounter of the series at the same venue. Travis Head emerged as the star of the show as he blasted the Scottish bowlers, punishing them ruthlessly with a 25-ball 80-run knock. Australia recorded the highest-ever powerplay score in the history of the shortest format, thrashing Scotland by 7 wickets at their home.
The Aussies made a mockery of the chase they scored the required target of 155 runs in the 10th over itself. Earlier batting first, Scotland had done a good job in tackling the Aussie bowlers and managing to cross the 15-run mark. Meanwhile, the visitors would be looking to double the lead with another victory in the second encounter and while the Scottish side would aim to save some grace by trying to defeat the superlative Aussies.

AUS vs SCO Match Prediction
As far as the match prediction for the second game of the series is concerned, Australia seem to be the clear favourites to win this match as well. Australia is definitely a better side and will most probably bag the contest which is expected to be another one-sided contest. A miracle where the Scottish side beats the Aussies can be rarely expected.
