T20 World Cup: Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has urged Mitchell Marsh and the Australian team to manipulate their final group game against Scotland to eliminate defending champions England from the ongoing T20 World Cup. With Australia already securing their spot in the Super Eights, Paine believes the team should focus on keeping Scotland's Net Run Rate (NRR) high enough to prevent England from advancing.

Paine expressed his views on SEN Radio, stating, "Absolutely they should [manipulate the result], and I'm not even joking. I've spoken to people about this in the last few days. I'm dead serious."

He emphasized that Australia doesn't need to lose the game but should aim to keep the match close enough to maintain Scotland's favourable NRR.
