I think that the Scotland team made less score and 154 runs were never going to be enough for them. Even if they had made 200+, the results may have been same because the opposition here is Australia, who have no comparison with Scotland.
I think if Michael Leask would stay for more time then he could do something. He is an all-rounder. He was out by Adam Zampa. Adam Zampa gave ball on the normal as he delivered but Michael Leask has not played it well, he was trying to hit a full sweep on it but missed the shot and he was out. He was out on the 15.1 over and after his lose of wicket the score was 117 in the loss of three wickets. From there, they ended up on 154 runs losing 9 wickets. They did not bat well in the last 5 overs.
It might have been impossible for Scotland to score 154 against a cricket team like Australia. Australia, one of the best teams in the world, set a target of just 150 plus for Scotland which was a very meager score for Australia. However, in this match, Scotland's bowlers first showed a surprise by dismissing the McGurk for 0 runs.But since then they have not had much success.I think if Michael Leask would stay for more time then he could do something.

Head played a monstrous innings for Australia, he gave a cameo innings of 80 runs off just 25 balls to cricket lovers. In addition to Head, Mitchell Marsh, the captain of the Australian team, also became devastating, and he was out after scoring 39 runs in just 12 balls.
This pitch was batting friendly. So if Scotland could provide a target of around 200 then the match was likely to be competitive. But 154 runs was too small a target for the mighty Australia. Australia batted on this target and won very easily.
Australia lost their opener's wicket before putting any runs into the batting. But even then Marsh and Head's explosive batting opening was incredible. Travis Head played an innings of 80 runs off just 25 balls. And Mitchell Marsh's collection was 39 off 12 balls. Because of these two innings, the Australian team got an easy win. Australia team collected 156 runs losing only 3 wickets in 9.4 overs.
