Milestone
That concludes our coverage of the T20I series between Scotland and Australia. As anticipated, the visitors won 3-0. The skill gap between the two teams was evident throughout, as Scotland struggled to put up a strong fight in any of the three matches. However, there were a few positives for Scotland, with no one standing out more than the talented Brandon McMullen, who impressed everyone with both his batting and bowling.
For now, this is Ajay Pal Singh signing off on behalf of my colleagues Saptak Sanyal and Paras Yadav.
Mitchell Marsh is now being presented with a traditional Scottish whisky bowl for winning the series. A little trophy and the whole Australian team poses with it for a team picture.
Mitchell Marsh(Australia Captain): "We had a great week. We came with a young team and they have done well. First and foremost we wanted to win and then we wanted to check the young guns.
Scotland is fantastic. We play cricket in all the countries and all the conditions. Scotland has given us a new opportunity, we are privileged to play here. Thanks to the crowd for being so lively. We are going to England next."

Richie Berrington (Scotland Captain): "Yeah, it has been a tough result for us. But getting to play against Australia has been a good exposure for us, need more games like these. It helps us to know what to do better. I think for me, the highlight has been the fans, it was a great atmosphere.
I think we are not too far away. Very small margins when you play against a team like Australia, they will hurt you. We have seen some good performances, Brandon McMullen's quality.
This week has been incredible. Credit to Cricket Scotland to get this series on. Hopefully, you will more of us in the future.

Cameron Green(Player of the Match): "I think when we came to the series, we had a lot of opportunities and few of our guys took it. This format excites me. A format which excites me. I've played in the IPL and that was great. I love playing golf and spend my off days with it."
