Mitchell Marsh-led Australia whitewashed Scotland 3-0 in a recently concluded T20I series. A video from the series is going viral on social media. In the resurfaced clip, captain Marsh was seen receiving a bizarre trophy at the end of the series. This is because the trophy that was presented to the Australian captain resembled a small cup; it was much smaller in size compared to the usual cups. After looking at the trophy, Marsh and his teammates couldn’t help but laugh. Watch it here –

The cup presented to the Australian cricket team after winning the trophy resembled the 'Quaich', a traditional Scottish drinking cup symbolising friendship, hospitality and peace.
The T20I series between Australia and Scotland concluded on September 7 this year.
“Had a great week, had a lot of opportunities with this young team. Guys stepping up at different times and playing good all-round cricket was good to see,” Marsh said at the end of the series.
All three matches of the series were played at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh.
“It was fantastic to play at a venue like this, a different challenge and this is a good opportunity to thank Scotland and Scottish cricket. We think cricket is very popular here. It would be nice to have all the Scots on board when we take on England.
Australia won the first match of the series by 7 wickets before sweeping the second match by a margin of 70 runs. The visitors won the third and final T20I by 6 wickets.
Australia produced a stunning batting performance against Scotland in the first T20I, scoring 113 runs and losing just one wicket in the powerplay.
This incredible performance set a new benchmark for the highest powerplay total in T20Is.
