A rampant Australia will be wary of Scotland threat when the two teams clash in a crucial Group B encounter in the T20 World Cup here with the outcome set to influence Super Eight qualification.

With Australia having already booked one spot for the Super Eight from Group B, Scotland and England are in race for the second position. Scotland will go through if they beat Australia or even if their contest is washed out.

Australia have been in top-form with hardly any serious concern. For the Scots, beating former champions Australia is ‘a hell of an opportunity' in Michael Leask's words and they would want to give their best, or maybe even hope that rain gods do them a favour, since they are still second on the points table with five points compared to England's three.
