5:02 PM IST Right then. That ends another one-sided encounter, as per the scorecard but it actually was the difference of one batter in the end. However, Australia will be more than happy with their 70-run win and see the changes they can make for Saturday, given that it is a quick turnaround. They have only Cooper Connolly in the squad left to play, so they can only make two changes - with Meredith putting his feet up for this game. Scotland have a lot of options to make changes but too many would spoil the broth. They need to trust this unit and just figure out a way to get Sharif into the playing XI. One batter needs to bat for as long as possible and the seamers coming after the new ball need to be clinical.

5:00 PM IST Victorious Australian skipper, MITCHELL MARSH, says that it was a good game of cricket and feels that this was a good all-round performance from the team. Tells that they have got a young group here and it is good to see guys making the most of the opportunities. Shares that the talk was about being flexible before this series and it was Inglis' turn to shine in this game. Further says that they might make a couple of changes for the third T20I but the priority is to complete a clean sweep.

4:58 PM IST Scotland's captain, RICHIE BERRINGTON, says that there were a few improvements and feels that Scotland were much better with the ball in this game. Lauds Josh Inglis for the way he batted. Reckons that Inglis kept finding boundaries with regularity, something his own team's batters could not do during their effort. States that he is disappointed with the result but is happy with the character to shown by his boys. Ends by saying that they need to build on this and get better with every game.

4:55 PM IST AUSTRALIA'S JOSH INGLIS HAS BEEN NAMED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH, for his stunning 103 (49), which had 14 hits to the fence, to go with a steepler with the gloves to dismiss Michael Jones. When asked how it feels to hold the record of the fastest ton by an Australian batter, he says that it feels pretty special. He says that there was a bit happening early on and the talk between him and Cameron Green was to build a partnership. Shares that as the new ball wore off, it got easy to bat. Feels that this is a good opportunity for him to cement his place in the squad.
