Oman D10 Cup 2022: Qurum Thunders vs Azaiba XI Match Prediction- Who will win today's match?

The Qurum Thunders will be locking horns with Azaiba XI in Match 21 of the Oman D10 League 2022 at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman on March 19. Both teams will be heading into the contest on the back of contrasting results in their previous encounters. Qurum Thunders registered an impressive nine-wicket win in their last game against the Khuwair Warriors in a high-scoring thriller. They currently occupy the second spot in the points table with four wins from five matches and eight points to their tally.

The Azaiba XI, on the other hand, seem to have run out of fire and brimstone. It was a case of so near yet so far for them in their last encounter against Bousher Busters where they were restricted to 92/4 in their allotted 10 overs, chasing 105. They would be looking to overcome this heartbreaking 12-run loss. Azaiba XI are currently holding the fifth position, having won three and lost two games so far.

Pitch Report: 

The Oman surface assists both bowlers and batters. The pacers as well as spinners can make the ball do the talking early on as well as at the backend of the innings. The batters can also make merry on this surface once they are set. A couple of high-scoring thrillers have also gone in the favor of the chasing teams. However, it needs to be noted that the teams batting first must be restricted to a manageable total in order to avoid scoreboard pressure by the chasing sides. Therefore, the captain winning the toss will bowl first.
