Pair hit 113 off the first six overs as UK tour starts as Australia win by seven wickets in Edinburgh
Pair hit 113 off the first six overs as UK tour startsTravis Head and Mitch Marsh have clubbed a world record T20 international powerplay score with a brutal display of hitting as Australia launched their white-ball UK tour by thrashing Scotland with more than half their overs to spare.
Marsh prodded Brandon McMullen’s next ball just past gully’s outstretched right hand, but if that start gave Scotland hope of an upset it was swiftly dispelled. Watt’s trick is to bowl from 25 yards, and next ball he did, hitting the stumps as Josh Inglis stepped away. To boos from the crowd a deadball was the verdict. The decision was later clarified as correct by MCC, but Inglis had appeared to be ready and watching when Watt bowled.
Marsh elected to field first and used six bowlers. Adam Zampa and Riley Meredith also delivered their full complement while Cam Green and Stoinis shared a quota.
