Correct Answer : Australia
Australia, in a stunning display of power hitting, set a new world record for the highest-ever Powerplay score in T20 Internationals, amassing 113/1 against Scotland at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
Chasing Scotland’s total of 154/9, Australia approached their innings with aggressive intent from the outset. Travis Head was the driving force behind this explosive performance, smashing a 17-ball fifty, which is now the joint-fastest by an Australian in T20Is.
Head's ferocious assault left both the Scottish bowlers and the crowd stunned, as he raced to 80 off just 25 deliveries, hitting boundaries with ease. His onslaught included five fours and one six in a single over bowled by Brad Wheal, propelling Australia to this remarkable milestone.
Mitchell Marsh, the Australian captain, provided superb support, contributing 39 off 12 balls. The pair’s ruthless partnership exploited Scotland's inexperienced bowling attack, leaving them with no solutions as the ball frequently sailed into the stands.
