Australia's Mitchell Marsh: Super Eights to Test Team Against World's Best

Australian captain Mitchell Marsh expressed his team's eagerness to face the world's top teams in the Super Eights of the ICC T20 World Cup. After their dominant five-wicket victory over Scotland, Marsh emphasized the importance of playing in a challenging environment to bring out the best in his squad.

"We spoke about sticking to our game and staying consistent in how we wanted to play," Marsh said after the match. "Having already qualified, there was less pressure on us, but whenever our team is challenged, it brings the best out of us."

Marsh praised Scotland's progress, acknowledging their highest-ever finish in an ICC tournament. "Scotland are a good team, they have improved a lot, and we certainly wanted to respect them," he said.

The Australian skipper also acknowledged the hectic schedule ahead in the Super Eights. "It's going to be a busy schedule. T20 is a hard format, but we are excited for what is to come," Marsh said.

Australia's victory secured their top spot in Group B with eight points from four wins. Scotland finished third with five points, but failed to advance to the Super Eights. England also qualified, sharing the same points and win-loss record as Scotland but with a superior net run rate.
