That's it from all of us for this game. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator Anirudh Modi and scorer Bishal Mandal. Tata. Bye Bye.
Mitchell Marsh (Australia Captain): "I'm all good mate, haha. The hand is all good. We knew we had qualified and we spoke pre-game about sticking to our game and try to win. Scotland have improved a lot over the last few years and we have huge respect for them.
We spoke as a group about staying really consistent about how we want to play and tonight with us being already qualified, there was less pressure. But even in other situations we have survived and this experience has come through.
We have made it through Super 8s and it's going to be a lot of work. T20 is a scary format and anything can happen as we saw today. Chat about England is more external than internal but the focus was always to win today and we did."

Richard Berrington (Scotland Captain): "Yeah, I thought we were in a very good position. We got a very good platform but we failed to capitalize in the end and fell short by some runs.
It was a good side. We knew it was a good wicket and we failed to execute for long enough. They have great ball strikers and the last few overs brought them back into the game.
There is obviously some breeze here. It is there in the Caribbean. We just tried to ask them to hit away from the breeze. But we didn't quite nail those in the last few overs and it cost us the game.
I think as I said, we were in a very good position with the bat. We could have scored more. But the guys can hold their heads high with the way they have played in this tournament. We played against very good teams. But a big learning for us. Stoinis and Travis Head played very good shots and took the game away from us. They played shots in the areas where there were no fielders. We came here to go to the next stage but couldn't do it. Obviously disappointed with it."

Marcus Stoinis (Player of the Match): "The plan was usual to get yourself in and play some good shots and then assess the situation from there. There's a strong breeze and that end was easier to hit to. The wicket was really good by the way they batted and that's why it felt that once you get in, any target is chase-able.
We were just looking to put the bad balls away and build a partnership, and he changed the game with those 3 sixes in one over. I've been fortunately playing consistently these past months and I've had good game time."
