Match Preview
The 28th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will see reigning champions England taking on Oman. The match is scheduled to take place on Friday, June 14, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The Three Lions, having played two games, haven’t been able to win a single game in the tournament. Their season opener against European rivals Scotland got abandoned due to rain, and they suffered a 36-run defeat to arch-rivals Australia.
On the other hand, Oman have also been sailing in the same boat after suffering 39 run defeat against Australia and later, a 7-wicket loss against Scotland. England and Oman’s hopes of surviving in the tournament are hanging by a thread and the forthcoming match is crucial for both the sides.
Toss Prediction
England and Oman haven’t competed against each other in the T20I format. However, if we talk about their previous respective fixtures in the current season of the T20 World Cup, Oman skipper Aqib Ilyas came out victorious in both the tosses. English skipper, on the flip side, Jos Buttler won only one of the two tosses. Considering this, we think Buttler would be highly likely to win toss in the upcoming match.
Win Possibility
Seeded in Pool B, England and Oman are on the cusp of elimination and desperately need a win to solidify their chances of surviving in the tournament. Both sides haven’t clashed against each other and this will be the first time they will meet for a cricketing contest. England are the reigning champions and would give in their all to make sure they defend the title. Oman, on the other hand, consist of a talented squad, but fall on a weaker side as compared to the Three Lions. While it is expected that Aqib Ilyas and Co. would be motivated enough to win the upcoming game, the Englishmen are highly likely to come on top and register first win of the season.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming match between England and Oman will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The venue has hosted five T20I matches so far, and the average first inning score of the stadium is 139. Considering this, we think the first inning score of the game could be around between 145-155 and powerplay score could hover around 40-45.
