Green leads Australia to T20 series sweep against Scotland

Cameron Green shone with both bat and ball as Australia completed a 3-0 clean sweep of Scotland in their T20 series in Edinburgh on Saturday.

All-rounder Green top-scored for the tourists with 62 not out after taking 3-35 as Australia caught up with Scotland’s total of 149 with 23 balls to spare.

Brandon McMullen scored his third half-century in four games against Australia but his 56 and 25 from opener George Munsey were the only batters to make significant contributions for Scotland.

Green took his first three-wicket haul in T20 cricket and then stepped up with the bat to rescue a shaky start from the world champions.

Brad Currie removed both Australian openers Jake Fraser-McGurk and Travis Head in the first two overs.

But Green scored 61 for the third wicket alongside captain Mitch Marsh to put the visitors back on course for victory.

Tim David added a quick 25 before Aaron Hardie joined Green to finish the job with a four through the covers.
