- Josh Inglis smashed T20 century in opposition to Scotland
- Reached three figures off simply
- Helped Australia publish an imposing 4-196 from 20 overs
- Aussies lead sequence 2-0, remaining sport 11pm AEST on Saturday
Wicketkeeper Josh Inglis has showcased his class with the bat, plundering a century as Australia comfortably beat Scotland by 70 runs within the second T20 fixture in Edinburgh on Friday.
Inglis, 29, used his toes beautifully and scored runs throughout the bottom as he hit 103 with Australia reaching an imposing 4-196 off 20 overs.
The wicketkeeper-batsman was born in England – and the ‘native’ clearly relished the foggy circumstances overseas.
When Inglis hoisted Brad Currie for successive sixes to achieve his second ODI century, he did so off simply 43 balls.
In doing so he eclipsed Alyssa Healy’s report, who belted a ton off 46 balls in opposition to Sri Lanka in 2019.
With the ball in hand, six Australian bowlers took at the least one wicket because the Scots have been rolled for 126 in reply.
Xavier Bartlett, Aaron Hardie, Abbott and Sean Adam Zampa took one apiece and Cameron Inexperienced claimed two in two balls because the Scotland innings fell aside.
Marcus Stoinis was a standout, snaring 4-23 in 3.4 overs because the vacationers cruised to victory.

Australia now lead the sequence 2-0 with one match to play.
Captain Mitch Marsh was elated with Inglis’ innings after coming in at first drop.
‘It was a actually good sport of cricket…..and Josh was simply unbelievable in one other [good] all-round efficiency from us,’ he mentioned.
‘We have now a younger group of fellows getting alternatives with flexibility within the tour.
‘There may be a few modifications for the subsequent sport, must ask the coach [Andrew McDonald].
‘We now can win [the series] 3-0 which is one other good alternative.’
The ultimate match of the sequence is in Edinburgh from 11pm AEST on Saturday.
