The mini-bowl, known in Scotland as a “quaich,” is traditionally used for drinking whiskey or other beverages.
When the presenter handed over the trophy to captain Mitchell Marsh, the entire team burst into laughter.
Marsh himself couldn’t hide his amusement, holding the cup with a mix of confusion and humour. Players gathered for a team photo, unsure of how to pose with the tiny, unconventional trophy, further adding to the hilarity.
Despite not knowing the quaich’s historical significance, the Australians took the surprise in stride, passing the cup around for laughs.
Watch:
The whole scene was a light-hearted way to cap off what had been a commanding series win for the visitors.
Fans on social media quickly joined the fun, dubbing the trophy an “ice-cream cup” and even comparing it to a “tea cup”.
On the field, it was Cameron Green who stole the show. The all-rounder delivered a brilliant performance with both bat and ball, claiming 3-35 and smashing an unbeaten 62 as Australia chased down Scotland’s total of 149 with ease, winning with 23 balls to spare.
Brandon McMullen’s half-century for Scotland wasn’t enough to stop Australia’s charge, as Green and captain Mitch Marsh steadied the innings after a shaky start. Aaron Hardie and Tim David finished the job, sealing an easy victory for the tourists.
But it was the unexpected “ice-cream cup” moment that stole the post-match spotlight.
