Mitch Marsh is now being presented with a special bowl, a Scottish souvenir to hold whiskey through which traditionally everyone has a sip. And now the rest of his teammates join in for a group photo. That's all from this series, Australia travel south to play England now. That should be a much sterner test, we'll bring you all the action from it, but bye for now...

Mitch Marsh: Had a great week, had a lot of opportunities with this young team. Guys stepping up at different moments and playing good all round cricket was good to see. It has been fantastic to play at a venue like this, different challenge and this is a good opportunity to thank Scotland and Scottish cricket. We feel that cricket is very popular out here. Would be nice to have all the Scottish people on board with us when we take on England.

Richie Berrington: It has been a tough week results wise, but having the opportunity to play Australia was a fantastic series for all of us in terms of exposure. I think you saw all around the excitement for cricket and to play top teams. We want to keep improving and the highlight for me has been the atmosphere out here. We are not too far away as a team, it is only about the small margins and that can hurt you. McMullen was quality again with bat and ball, and some other guys have come in and performed well as well. This week was incredible cricket wise, the more we can do this, the better we can get as a team. Hopefully, something we can see more of in the future.

Cameron Green | Player of the Match: What we got out of the series is opportunities, and happy a few guys took it. I think this (format) is very exciting, I had a lot of fun in the IPL. (Best thing about Scotland?) Probably golf.

17:07 Local Time, 16:07 GMT, 21:37 IST: A fairly comfortable chase for Australia, but Scotland gave a much better account of themselves today and stayed in the hunt for a while. They bowled brilliantly in the powerplay with some swing on offer, as Jake Fraser-McGurk was out for a duck, and Travis Head also fell cheaply within the powerplay. Australia were 45/2 after six, but then found their gear through Cam Green and Mitch Marsh. The Australian captain was a bit sketchy in his knock of 31, and ended up chopping one back onto his stumps. However, Green held fort on the other end as he finished with 62 not out to compliment a bowling performance of 3/35 earlier in the day. Aaron Hardie came out and helped provide the finishing touches, as Australia chased down the target with almost four overs to spare. Stick around for the presentations.
