Australia beat Scotland by seven wickets

:Headline: Result: Australia beat Scotland by seven wickets: ID:211046: from db_amp
Co-hosts Australia lose just three wickets on their way to reaching a victory target of 131 set by Scotland at the Cricket World Cup.

Australia made light work of their victory target of 131 runs during their Cricket World Cup encounter against Scotland this morning.

The co-hosting Aussies won the toss and elected to bowl in Hobart, and it proved to be the correct decision as they restricted the Scots to 130 from 25.4 overs.

Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers, having recorded figures of 4-14 from his 4.4 overs. The 25-year-old has now taken 16 wickets at the tournament, more than any other bowler.

In reply, Aaron Finch's inconsistent form continued when he was caught by Freddie Coleman for 20, but his fellow opener Michael Clarke made 47.

With Shane Watson out for 24, it was left to James Faulkner (16) and David Warner (21) to get Australia over the victory line.

They will now face either Pakistan or Ireland in the quarter-finals of the competition on Friday, while Scotland, who have lost all six of their group matches, head home.
