In front of a bumper crowd, including the top-ranked United States team - who watched every move the Australians made - Canada scored first but Australia then led for the rest of the match, yet never by much.
Batt and Chris Bond, Australia's 3.5 players, played with aggression and class to dominate throughout. They were able to give each other rests and come together to give Australia plenty of momentum. They were brilliantly supported by the likes of Greg Smith, Cameron Carr and Andrew Harrison, who blocked well, offered support and chimed in with points at vital times.
Australia will continue their recovery tomorrow morning before getting ready to take on Sweden from 2pm.
Scott said they would not be taking their next opponents lightly.
