Preview

Oman (OMN) and Namibia (NAM) will be taking on each other in a T20I series. The first of them will be taking place on the 1st of April 2024 at 4:00 PM (IST) in Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1). The series is important for both teams as it will act as a preparatory assignment ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Interestingly, both teams are grouped in the same group in the T20 World Cup 2024.

In Group B of the tournament, Oman and Namibia are grouped alongside England, Australia, and Scotland. Given how the challenge for the teams is, it would be good for both these teams to test themselves and see how they fare against each other. They do have a chance to beat Scotland. But Australia and England remain to be their biggest challenges. In recent times, both teams have been making headlines in cricket.

Namibia has taken part in every T20 World Cup since 2021. They have arguably the second-best team from the African continent. It will be a good series, considering that the matches will take place in Oman. The home side posts a good challenge to the teams who tour their conditions. In the T20 World Cup 2021, Oman hosted some of the matches. They would be hoping to win the series to gain some confidence ahead of the T20 WC 2024.

Pitch Report

The first T20I between Oman and Namibia is set to take place at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1). It is known to assist both batters and bowlers. The wicket is usually slow, and the batters need to farm strike and convert singles to doubles. Bowlers need to be accurate in their lines and lengths. Given it is an afternoon game, batting first would be the best option, as the pitch could get slower with the progression of the match.

8.5

Aqib Ilyas

OMN | ALL

Aqib ilyas is a good player. In his prime, he was very good. However, the star batter has not been able to fire with the bat in recent times, which is a concern to be picked in the fantasy team.

8
