Australia set a new world record in T20I cricket by scoring a record 113 runs in the powerplay during a match against Scotland. This incredible achievement, which took place in Edinburgh, broke the previous record of 102/0 held by South Africa.

Despite losing opener Jake Fraser-McGurk early, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh kept on smashing Scottish bowlers, with Head scoring a blistering 80 off just 25 balls. His 17-ball half-century tied the record for the fastest by an Australian in T20Is

Head’s innings includes 12 boundaries and five sixes, making it a nightmare for the opposition. Marsh also played a vital role, smashing 30 runs in a single over, which helped Australia cross the 100-run mark within the first six overs.

 The duo’s aggressive partnership ensured that Australia chased down Scotland’s target of 155 with 62 balls to spare, a remarkable achievement in itself.

This record-breaking powerplay not only highlighted Australia’s dominance in T20 cricket but also demonstrated the importance of utilizing the first six overs effectively. By the end of the powerplay, Australia had already set themselves up for a comfortable victory, also making a record in T20I history.
