Playing only for pride after a wretched T20 World Cup campaign, Australia have at least signed off on an upbeat note with skipper Mitch Marsh taking out his frustration by helping smash his side to a nine-wicket victory over makeweights Oman in Sri Lanka.
Looking unsurprisingly subdued in a match which had been pencilled in as a warm-up for their entry into the Super Eight stage but turned into a dispiriting 'dead rubber', Marsh's already eliminated side at least couldn't be faulted for professionalism as they bowed out in ruthless fashion in Pallekele on Friday.
After Australia bowled out the Omanis for 104 in 16.2 overs, with Adam Zampa (4-21) starring, Marsh himself then bludgeoned an unbeaten 64 as they hurried to 1-108 with 62 balls still remaining, looking as if he couldn't wait to get home quickly enough.
