Match Preview
In the 10th group-stage fixture of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Australia will open their campaign in the ICC mega-event against Oman. The match is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 6, at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. While this will be the first game Aussies will play in the tournament, Oman have already opened their campaign in the ninth edition of the tournament.
Not only this, but this will also be the first time both sides will be up against each other in any format of the game.
Toss Prediction
This will be the first time skippers of both the sides, Mitchell Marsh and Aqib Ilyas will be up against each other for the toss. Since there are no previous records available, predicting a toss winner would be challenging. However, if we consider Oman’s previous game in the tournament, they were up against Namibia. In that game, Namibia’s skipper Gerhard Erasmus won the toss over Oman’s Ilyas. Considering this, we think Oman’s captain might get lucky this time and win the toss over Marsh.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, this will be the first time the mighty Aussies will take on Oman in a game. However, we if consider their individual past records in the T20 World Cup, Aussies come on the back of 4-1 streak and so do Oman. But, analysing the teams, Australia come with a depth in their bowling unit as well as a few all-rounders and a few deadly batters. The Aussies have names like Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa in their squad, making a formidable bowling unit.
While Oman has a talented squad, they lack such high-caliber players. In addition, Oman also had a disastrous opening to the tournament, where they lost their season opener against Namibia. Mitchell Marsh and Co. will go all out and are most likely to secure an easy and convincing win.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
One of the most popular cricketing venues in West Indies, the Kensington Oval in Barbados is set to host the clash between Australia and Oman. The venue has hosted around 20 T20 matches and has a first inning average of 156.2. Considering this, we think the first inning score in the upcoming game is expected to be around 160-170 and powerplay can hover around 45-55. However, toss is going to play a major role in the forthcoming game and the predicted scores.
