Pat Cummins is determined to play their brand of Cricket irrespective of England's T20 World Cup future hangs on the string of the match between Australia and Scotland.

Australia already have booked their tickets for Super-Eight. 
A defeat of Australia to Scotland will see England being knocked out of the T20 World Cup, while if Australia beat Scotland then the defending champions will cruise their way to the Super-Eight after their emphatic victory over Oman that lifted their net run-rate (NRR) from -1.8 to 3.081, and crucially above their British rivals' 2.164.

Cummins claimed Hazlewood had been joking and his remarks taken out of context.

"When you go out and play, you're trying your best every time. And if you're not, it's probably against the spirit of cricket," the Test and ODI captain, who has handed the reins to Mitch Marsh for the T20 side, told reporters in St Lucia on Thursday.

"I haven't really thought too deeply because it's never really popped up.

"I was speaking to Joshy who had a bit of a joke about it the other day and it got taken a bit out of context. We'll go out there and try to play Scotland who have had a really good tournament so far so it's going to be tough.

"It's something you discuss as one of the quirks of the setup, but it does it change the way we play? Absolutely not."

"I don't think you can (go into a game not trying to win) – ever. You're playing an international game in the middle of a World Cup.

"You still want to try and have a good game and carry that on into the Super Eights. I've never stepped on to the field without the mindset of being aggressive, like the guys have so far."
