Australia have given England a T20 World Cup reprieve after surviving a scare in St Lucia to claim a last-over five-wicket win over Scotland. With their own progression to the Super Eight stage already assured, Australia were well below their best as they chased down Scotland’s 5-180 with two balls to spare. Marcus Stoinis was the saviour for Australia, blasting a half-century and combining for an 80-run stand with Travis Head, who also raised the bat, that changed the match.
Glenn Maxwell claimed 2-44, copping some punishment before he out-thought opener George Munsey in another crucial moment. In reply, Australia struggled to catch fire and sat at 1-36 after six overs and their slowest powerplay of the competition. When the equation reached 107 needed from the final 10 overs, England would have been considering booking their flights home. But Head and Stoinis were able to bat their side back into the match. Stoinis was the first to make an impact.
