World T20 League 2024

ENG vs. OMN, 28th Match

Preview

England will square off against Oman in the 28th match of the World T20 League 2024. The game is scheduled to be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Friday, June 14. 

The ‘Three Lions’ are at risk of an early exit and this game will be of immense value to them. Their match against Oman will be a do-or-die encounter and his side will be looking to make it a quick win for one of the newest teams in the tournament. 

England's first match of the World T20 League against Scotland was washed out due to rain. Following that, they faced a harsh defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals Australia by 36 runs. The Jos Buttler side now needs to beat Oman and Namibia by huge run margins and stay on the mercy of Australia if they do them a favour by defeating Scotland in their respective faceoffs. 

On the other side, Oman have already been eliminated from the tournament and they have nothing to lose. Their third defeat against Scotland was the result of their early exit. They will play freely and will look towards spoiling the plans for England in this fixture.

Match Prediction

The reigning World T20 League champions are one of the best teams in the international cricket circuit. They have well-seasoned players and T20 specialists. Oman have a lack of experience in big-stage games and will look to fight back with all their strength. But the Three Lions seem to be the undisputed winners in this fixture.
