England vs Oman 28th Match ICC T20 World Cup 2024
|England faces a crucial game as the defending T20 World Cup champions teeter on the edge of an early exit. Jos Buttler and his team must win their match against Oman to stay in the competition and aim to dominate the tournament’s newcomers.
England’s campaign began with a rain-affected match against Scotland, resulting in no result. A subsequent 36-run defeat to Australia left England with just one point from two games. To advance, England must now convincingly defeat both Oman and Namibia, while hoping Australia defeats Scotland.
Oman, already eliminated from the tournament after a third consecutive loss to Scotland, has nothing left to play for except the role of spoilers against England.
This is a good batting wicket in Antigua which offers some turn but also good carry. The top pace bowlers will take the pitch out of the equation and nail their yorkers or produce strong slower balls to be successful here at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. A par score will be over 180 in the first innings.
