Five of the Scotland's batsmen couldn't even open their accounts before they trudged back to the pavilion for their individual ducks.
Matt Machan was the only batsman to show some spine as he smacked 40 runs off 35 balls before his dismissal, while Calum Macleod (22), Josh Davey (26) and Michael Leask (23*) scored twenties before their respective dismissals .
Chasing a paltry target of 130, Australia comfortably chased down the target in the 16th over as skipper Michael Clarke top scored with being dismissed for 47 runs before rain halted the game.
