Milestone
That's it from our coverage of a spectacular chase from Australia in the series opener against Scotland. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Akshay Bhide and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Richard Berrington (Scotland Captain): "That's what we expect playing against one of the best teams in the world. We started out well with the bat. Had a decent powerplay. Credit goes to the Australian bowlers, they adapted to the wicket really quickly and made it hard to get away and capitalize on the start to get a big score on the board.
We are really disappointed with how things ended up today. Its a great experience for the younger guys. There's another great opportunity coming up in a couple of days' time. If we execute a little better in few things, we will give ourselves a good chance to get back in the game.
As a team we want to keep improving and get exposure playing against teams like Australia and take away as much as experience. We have to keep that belief that we can compete and play our best cricket. Unfortunately we couldn't quite managed to do that. We look to learn from it and we will come back strong for the next one."

Mitchell Marsh (Australia Captain): "Always nice to start the tour with a win. We spoke that it was important to win the first game in a three-match series and nice to get it.
The bowlers were really good. It was about staying clear with what they wanted to do. The energy on the field was good. The bowlers were fantastic on the ground. That's what you ask for.
The Scottish people are extremely proud of their cricket. It is a great privilege for us to be touring here and playing in front of them."

Travis Head (Player of the Match): "Nice way to get underway. We've loved our time here so far. Its been a nice period for a couple of years. We have got some energy with the new guys who are too enthusiastic. Personally I would like to continue doing what I am doing.
It was a tricky start to lose Jake early. I wasn't sure of what the wicket was going to be like but with Marsh at the other end we had a nice little partnership. That's what my role is, to maximize the powerplay."
