In the last over of the Twenty20 World Cup, Australia narrowly defeated Scotland in St. Lucia to give England a serious fright. Australia, who had already secured their spot in the Super Eight stage, performed much below par as they needed just two balls to overcome Scotland's 5-180.
Australia's batting attack was spearheaded by Travis Head and Marcus Stoinis, who both scored half-centuries to rescue the team during an 80-run partnership that turned the tide of the contest. Tim David and Matthew Wade played to the very end, but Australia won by five wickets thanks to a mishandled catch by Chris Sole in the last over. Now that England have outperformed Scotland in terms of net run rate, Australia and England will move on from Group B. Although Australia was the obvious favorite against the Scots, it seemed like England's campaign may be finished for most of the match.
