Australia vs Scotland Highlights: 40th World Cup Match in Hobart

There was an interruption due to rain but once play resumed they began right from where they had left as they cleaned them up. Starc was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up four wickets. Cummins supported him well as he ended up with three wickets. An easy chase on the cards for Australia. Join us back for the chase in a while.

Australia were simply brilliant as they have rampaged through the Scottish batting line up. Starc created early in road as he picked up two early wickets. The middle order suffered a collapse and they kept losing wickets. Machan top scored for them with 40 runs.

OUT! Done and dusted! Fires the perfect yorker on off, Wardlaw backs away a bit and gets his bat down to squeeze it out but he fails as the ball slams through the off stump. Scotland are bundled out for 130 runs.

Length ball outside off, Wardlaw goes after it but misses.

Iain Wardlaw walks out to bat.

OUT! Castled! Starc strikes right away! Pitched up ball on off, Davey is drawn into playing it as he looks to defend but misses the line completely and the ball rockets through the off stump.

The rain has come to a stop and the covers are off as well. The players are back on the field and play resumes.

No run.

Australia would hope that the rain Gods stay away and they get a game on hand from here. If this game gets washed out, Australia would finish third in the points table behind Sri Lanka and will have to face the Proteas. They would surely not like that equation and would hope for play to resume. Stay tuned as the next update is scheduled at 1645 local time.

1623 local time update - Oh dear! The rain has picked up and the players are leaving the field. The covers are being rushed on as well. Australia are in command here as they have ripped through Scotland's batting. All the bowlers have come to the party and have chipped in with the wickets. Eight wickets down, Leask and Davey have put on some sort of a partnership.
