Australia have done England a massive favour by beating Scotland, which means that Jos Buttler and his team have made it through to the Super Eight. Scotland would be heartbroken, especially after that performance which kept them ahead for a good part of the game. Well not just today but Scotland had a pretty good T20 World Cup, especially their consistency against all the teams. But they would be left to rue their dropped catches tonight as they bow out of T20 World Cup 2024. They can be mighty proud of that effort though.
