Match Preview:
The defending WTC and ODI World Cup champions Australia will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Oman. The Aussies last played T20 cricket against New Zealand and white-washed them 3-0 before the IPL. On the other hand, Oman had already played their first match of the 2024 World Cup and settled for a nail-biting defeat against Namibia, which ended in a super over.

Pitch Report:
Analysis
The 2021 T20 champions Australia will look to win their second title in the format this year. Led by the incredible Mitchell Marsh, the Aussies boast a terrorising batting line with power-hitting all across. Their bowling also has some world-class players like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa who have upped their game in the shortest format.
Oman, on the other hand, has also been in decent form with some proven match-winners in their ranks. But their opening match showed some massive flaws like composure while batting and poor fielding which led to their defeat. For Oman, captain and star batter Aqib Ilyas and premier fast bowler Bilal Khan will be crucial for their chances in this World Cup.
