That's all from our side for this game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you soon.

A heartbreak for Scotland. A relief for England, who join West Indies, South Africa and USA in Group 2 of Super Eight.

Mitchell Marsh: We spoke about sticking to our game. Scotland are a pretty good outfit and have improved a lot in the last few years. We spoke as a group to stay really consistent in how we want to play. Having already qualified, there was little less pressure on us. The World Cup kind of starts again now. It's going to be a busy schedule. T20 is a hard format. We are excited for what's to come. [On chat about England] I think more externally than internally.

Richie Berrington: I thought we were in a pretty good position at the halfway mark. Unfortunately we couldn't capitalise towards the end. We had a really good start with the ball but we couldn't execute it for long enough. A few big overs towards the back end got them back into the game. There was a breeze at the ground, so we were just trying to get them hit away from the breeze. I think the guys can hold their head high. We played some really good cricket throughout the tournament. It was a great learning for us. Obviously we are a bit disappointed given the position we were in. We came here to qualify but couldn't do that.

vagnur: "This just shows how scary Australia is. Not doing it all, but winning against a spirited scotland team"

Krish : "Pheww!! England can sleep peacefully now..."

Marcus Stoinis is the Player of the Match: "The plan was to get yourself in and hit it hard along the ground. And then access from there. There's a strong breeze, which meant that end was easier to hit from. The pitch was also very good. Head picked his bowlers and pretty much turned the game in that over with three sixes even though he got out. I have been fortunate to play consistently for the last 3-4 months starting with the IPL but there's no substitute for confidence. That's the recipe we all try to keep a hold of."

11.50pm A valiant effort by Scotland but Australia were too good in the end. They posted a competitive 180 and were ahead at the halfway mark in the chase. At one point, Australia needed 89 from seven overs. Head and Stoinis shifted gears then and David joined in later and finished it off with two balls to spare.
