Prior to England’s win against Oman, Scotland put themselves in the driving seat for qualification with their own thrashing of the same opposition.

They have never played Australia in a T20 and have not met in any format since 2015. Australia have won all five of their meetings in one-day internationals.

“England had two tough games to play and they’ve played the first one very well,” all-rounder Michael Leask said.

“We always knew this was going to be a must-win game for us and it’s a hell of an opportunity for us to go and play really good cricket and take on one of the best in the world.

“We’re going at this game quietly confident but obviously knowing that Australia are one of the best in the world.

“So, it is going to be a tough game but why can’t we go and do what we’ve done before and cause an upset?”
