Cameron Green's power-packed performance with the bat and ball ensured Australia completed a 3-0 series sweep over Scotland.

Sixes rained from Green's bat as he raced to his career-best T20I score of 62* in 39 deliveries. Before arriving at the landmark feat with the bat, Green made the ball obey his will and hit his career-best with the ball with figures of 3/35.

While chasing a modest total of 150, Scotland rattled Australia early after Bradley Currie removed Jake Fraser-McGurk for a duck. Bradley then forced Travis Head (12) to return back to the dugout cheaply.
