T20 World Cup 2024: Match 20, OMA vs SCO Match Prediction – Who will win today’s T20 World Cup match between OMA and SCO?

Oman (OMA) will take on Scotland (SCO) in the 20th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, on (Sunday) June 9.

Oman's performance in the marquee event has been below par so far, as they are coming off a two-match losing streak. In their opening game against Namibia, they were part of a thrilling Super Over contest, which they eventually lost. In their last fixture against the mighty Australians, the Aqib Ilyas-led side fell 39 runs short of the target and in due course suffered their second defeat. The upcoming game is a do-or-die situation for them to still be in contention for the Super Eight.

On the other hand, Richie Berrington's Scotland are coming off an emphatic win over Namibia in their second game. After their first game got washed out against England, the Scottish side came back strong and registered a five-wicket victory.

His performance in the next game will be crucial if Scotland wants to carry on their winning momentum.

Probable Best Bowler:
