Delhi: The second match of the three-match T20 International series being played between Scotland and Australia was played at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh. In this match, Australia performed brilliantly and defeated Scotland by a huge margin of 70 runs. With this victory, Australia has taken a 2-0 lead in the series.

During this, something happened which has never happened before in the history of cricket. Actually, there is no third umpire in this series, whereas according to the rules of International Cricket Council (ICC), the presence of a third umpire is mandatory. This was the first time when an international match was played without a third umpire.

The absence of the third umpire has disappointed fans not only from Scotland but from the entire cricket world. The lack of a third umpire in this series for a Test-playing nation has been a big mistake.

During the second T20 match, Kangaroo opener Jake Fraser-McGurk's potential stumping went unnoticed without the third umpire noticing it. Wicketkeeper Charlie Tear dropped the bails off Brandon McMullen's delivery, but the review appeal was rejected due to the absence of a third umpire. However, McGurk could not take advantage of it and was dismissed for 16 runs.

Australia won the match by 70 runs

Talking about the match, Australia batted first and scored 196 runs for 4 wickets. In response, Scotland's team collapsed by scoring only 126 runs in 16.4 overs, losing not only the match but also the series.
