Namibia and Oman lock horns in match No. 3 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, on Monday, June 3.
The two teams squared off in a five-match series earlier this year in Al Amerat. The visitors came back from 1-2 down to take the series 3-2. Namibia played three warm-up games in the build-up to the marquee event. They beat Uganda with relative ease in the first game before being blown away by Australia. In their last warm-up fixture against Papua New Guinea, Namibia eked out a three-run win.
JP Kotze finished as the leading run-getter in Namibia's tour of Oman, scoring 160 runs from five games at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 125.98. Meanwhile, a lot of hopes will rest on experienced all-rounder David Wiese. His striking ability in the death overs and knack of picking up crucial wickets is well-documented. Meanwhile, skipper Gerhard Erasmus emerged as the top wicket-taker for Namibia against Oman. In five matches, he bagged eight wickets at a remarkable average of 8.25. The batting all-rounder would love to work his magic once again on Monday morning (India time).
Meanwhile, Oman bagged a three-wicket win against Papua New Guinea in their first warm-up game before their second encounter against Afghanistan was washed out after they scored 154/3 in the first innings.
After the defeat to Namibia, Oman hosted the ACC Men's T20I Premier Cup 2024, involving 10 teams. They made it to the finals, where they lost to UAE. Aqib Ilyas, who is the current captain, finished as the leading run-scorer for Oman, amassing 175 runs in five matches, scoring two half-centuries. However, he was even better with the ball, picking up 12 wickets at 9.33. Ilyas is undoubtedly on top of the list of players to watch out for in this clash. Meanwhile, veteran left-arm pacer Bilal Khan's spell with the new ball is going to be very crucial.
