T20 World Cup 2024: England's strongest predicted playing XI against Oman, Match 28

The two-time T20 World Cup champions will seek to rejuvenate their faltering title charge against Oman. Securing a victory in this match is imperative for them to advance beyond the group-stage. Additionally, they must triumph in their final group game, while also relying on Australia to defeat Scotland.

Following a rain-abandoned opener against Scotland and a 36-run loss to arch-rivals, Australia, England's prospects of advancing beyond the group-stage had been significantly jeopardized. Scotland's consecutive victories have further complicated England's path. Consequently, England will be strategizing to commence this crucial encounter on a positive note.

Openers: Jos Buttler and Phil Salt

Buttler and Salt, aside from delivering an explosive start against Australia, are entering this match on the back of highly successful IPL 2024 campaigns. Accumulating 359 and 435 runs respectively, they will be brimming with confidence, eager to ignite England's innings with another stellar performance.

Middle-order: Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, and Harry Brook

The formidable trio would be keen to accelerate their performance following disappointing outings against Australia. Freed from the responsibilities of wicketkeeping, Bairstow would be poised to deliver with renewed vigor, unhampered by additional burdens or fatigue. Crucial overs of off-spin from Jacks during the powerplay or the middle phase will be decidedly advantageous for the English as well. The prowess and potential of Brook would already be well known to all.

All-rounders: Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, and Chris Jordan

Arguably the most dynamic and multifaceted all-rounders, adept at launching fierce counter-attacking innings out of all the squads in the tournament, these three possess exceptional skills. Livingstone's leg-spin and Moeen's off-spin complement each other perfectly, providing a balanced and effective bowling combination Jordan's prowess in the field is nothing short of outstanding.

Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Adil Rashid

Wood and Rashid incurred high economy rates against Australia, while Archer proved economical. Both the pacer and the leg-spinner would be eager to enhance their performances moving forward.
