Scotland vs Australia, 3rd T20I at Edinburgh, SCO vs AUS, Sep 07 2024 - Match Result

and Hardie seals 3-0 with a lovely, crisp stroke. Full, a bit of width, and he drives square with an open bat face and sends the ball racing to the point boundary

back of a length, angling into the pads, tucked away to deep midwicket

fired into the pads, clipped to deep square leg

salt in the wounds. Steps out now, gets right to the pitch of this one outside off for a free swing of the arms to launch it high, back over the bowler's head

mishit, but it falls in no-man's land. Tossed up a bit slower wide of off, and Green goes hard at a lofted hit, leaning back and aiming over long-off. Skews it towards short third, but he's on his heels, and has to dive forward but is nowhere near it in the end

tossed up a bit slower outside off, driven to long-off

there's that reverse-sweep again. This time it's Hardie, early in his innings. In position so quickly, and this ball is angled in towards off stump and quick, but he's in position early, nice and stable, for a free swing of the arms to send it running away between backward point and short third

back of a length close to off stump, quick, and Hardie lets it come and uses the pace to steer it down to deep third

hard length angling into off stump, makes a bit of room to free his arms and flat-bats to long-on

fullish, angling into the pad, clipped down to long-on

full outside off, it's there for the cover drive in this format, but it holds its line slightly and slides past the outside edge

and there's a wicket. Sole goes short and off-pace, and David pulls in the air, picks out the man out at deep backward square leg

again it runs away where the batter doesn't quite intend it to go. Steps across early, looking for the scoop over short fine, and Sole bowls in the blockhole outside off. Doesn't middle it, and it skews off an edge over the keeper's right shoulder. Backtracks, twists, and throws himself backwards, but can't quite reach it

swung away with the bottom hand coming off the handle, and he finds the gap between deep backward square leg and deep midwicket. Shortish ball at stomach height close to off stump, and he pulls it away with an unfettered swing of the bat

not where he intended to hit it, but it runs away for four. Unusual for a top-edge to travel in that direction. Short, climbs high in the corridor, and he tries to lean away and uppercut over short third. Ends up hitting it over short fine leg instead

shortish slower ball outside off, a bit of away movement too. Beats the attempted pull

shortish, close to off stump, pulled along the ground to deep midwicket, and that brings up a terrific fifty to go with three wickets

full, angling into middle and off, gets his feet out of the way and drives powerfully. Jarvis sticks his right hand out but can't stop it, and it's travelling too quickly for mid-off to stop it to his right

back of a length on top of off stump, flat-batted to the left of long-on

back of a length outside off, flat-batted to long-off
