Australia's Travis Head set multiple records, including the joint-fastest fifty for Australia in T20Is, with an 80-run innings off 25 balls during the first T20I against Scotland. Head and Mitchell Marsh led Australia to chase down Scotland's 155-run target in just 9.4 overs, setting a world record for the highest-ever powerplay score in T20Is with 113 runs in the first six overs. Head's innings included 12 fours and five sixes, while Marsh contributed significantly with 39 runs off 12 balls. Despite debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk's duck, Australia secured a seven-wicket victory, showcasing a dominant performance that left the Scottish bowlers struggling.
