Australia secured a 3-0 series win over Scotland in their T20 series, with all-rounder Cameron Green delivering an outstanding performance in the final match in Edinburgh on Saturday. Green was the star with both bat and ball, as Australia comfortably chased down Scotland's target of 149 with 23 balls remaining.

Green first made an impact with the ball, taking 3 wickets for 35 runs, his best figures in T20 cricket. Scotland managed to post 149/9 in their 20 overs, thanks to Brandon McMullen's impressive 56 and a solid 25 from opener George Munsey. However, other Scottish batters struggled to build partnerships.

Australia's chase got off to a rocky start, with both openers Jake Fraser-McGurk and Travis Head dismissed by Scotland's Brad Currie in the first two overs. But Green stepped up, scoring an unbeaten 62 and stabilizing the innings alongside captain Mitch Marsh. The pair added 61 runs for the third wicket, setting Australia back on track.

Tim David contributed a quick 25 before Aaron Hardie joined Green to complete the chase, with Green hitting the winning four through the covers.

Australia reached 154/4 in just 16.1 overs, clinching the match by six wickets and completing a 3-0 series sweep.
