The Australian opener has taken a toll of the Scotland bowlers as he nailed them with his thundering batting in the series opener on Wednesday. The batter has scored a record-shattering 80 runs in just 25 balls.
Australia have scored a record score in the powerplay as they registered the highest total of 113 in the powerplay. Fans have gone crazy over Head’s innings though for some it seemed very likely to see him perform in this fashion.
Some fans have said, “Is their anything blue in Scotland kit”. This statement seems to be mocking India’s loss against Australia in the final of which Travis Head was the main reason.
While one said Travis Head just missed the quickest of the T20I century.
While some congratulated the World no.1 T20I batter for his tunning innings.

Australia vs Scotland 1st T20I: Match Recap
Australia bowled first in the first match that against Scotland, which began Australia’s European summer.
The Scottish never seemed to go well, as wickets kept falling at regular intervals. They were restricted to a minor 154/9 with Sean Abbott picking 3 wickets for his team, emerging as the pick of the bowlers.
Next, the Aussies came in to bat and it seemed quite a getable job for the Aussies. However, no one thought this was going to come, as the Edinburgh stadium saw a storm in the form of Travis Head.
Head didn’t need a ball to get going, as he went on to score 80 runs off 25 deliveries, hitting 12 boundaries and 5 sixes. He scored only 2 runs other than boundaries. He struck Mcmullen for an 20 runs, while the biggest over came from Marsh, who smacked them for 30 runs. He scored a quickfire 39 of just 12 deliveries before he getting out.
Australia chased 156 even before 10 overs, thereby taking 1-0 lead in the series.
