Two games in and both sides are on the board. They have a decent run-rate to show, and look pretty good to push on and compete for top spots. Both sides are pretty settled and with fewer players on national duty from both squads they have a strong side to fight with.

STA vs SCO Key Players

Trent Boult

At 33, Trent Boult begins his journey as a freelancer. His first game went well from a personal point of view as he took the new ball and also picked up two wickets. With the Stars losing though, he will have a greater role as Stars look to get on the board.

Josh Inglis

Josh Inglis has enjoyed an extended run in the national team and is rising up the ladder among the leading wicket-keeping batters in the country. He is an asset in the middle-order and can be really consistent in T20 Cricket when he gets going.
