Travis Head and Mitch Marsh have clubbed a world record T20 international powerplay score with a brutal display of hitting as Australia launched their white-ball UK tour by thrashing Scotland with more than half their overs to spare.
Head made 80 in 25 balls and Marsh 39 in 12 as the pair racked up 113 in the six over powerplay, surpassing the 102 made by South Africa against the West Indies last year.
That enabled Australia to overhaul the 9-154 Scotland had made in the first of three T20s at the Grange, Edinburgh, in 9.4 overs.
