Australia secured a hard-fought five-wicket win against Scotland in St Lucia, ending Scotland's hopes in the Twenty20 World Cup and advancing England to the Super Eight stage. Scotland needed a draw, a washout, or a first-ever win over Australia to progress but fell short despite a competitive total of 180-5, with Brandon McMullen scoring 60 and Richie Berrington unbeaten on 42. Australia, already qualified, struggled initially but Travis Head's 68 and Marcus Stoinis's 59 steered them to victory.
