Oman and Namibia will lock horns in the third match of the T20 World Cup 2024 today (Monday).
BRIDGETOWN - Namibia are set to commence their journey in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 with a clash against Oman at Kensington Oval Stadium in Barbados today . Playing in their third consecutive T20 World Cup, Namibia will be looking to build on impressive previous showings.
In 2021, they had surprised many by qualifying for Super 12s - at the expense of Ireland and Netherlands - and in 2022 they beat Sri Lanka in the first round, but fell short of progressing. They made it to T20 World Cup 2024 by dominating the Africa qualifier, winning all six of their games. With England and Australia also in their group, they will know that their best shot at the Super 8s involves beating Oman and Scotland and then pulling off an upset. But Oman, their first opponents, could offer tough competition. When the two teams faced off in a five-match T20I series in April, Oman ran Namibia close, with Namibia eventually sealing a 3-2 win. Oman, also making their third T20 World Cup appearance, come into the tournament with momentum on their side. They reached the ACC Premier Cup final, winning five games on the trot, although they lost to UAE in the final. They have a new captain for this World Cup, with Aqib Ilyas replacing the experienced Zeeshan Maqsood in the role. Namibia could field an XI with as many as seven bowling options, while their potential No. 9 Ruben Trumpelmann is no mug with the bat. Oman also have plenty of bowling options among their top- and middle-order batters. They could put out the same line-up that played in the final of the Premier Cup.1 Nikolas Davin, 2 Jean-Pierre Kotze, 3 Michael van Lingen, 4 Gerhard Erasmus , 5 JJ Smit, 6 David Wiese, 7 Jan Frylinck, 8 Zane Green , 9 Ruben Trumpelmann, 10 Bernard Scholtz, 11 Ben Shikongo1 Kashyap Prajapati, 2 Naseem Khushi , 3 Aqib Ilyas , 4 Zeeshan Maqsood, 5 Pratik Athavale , 6 Ayaan Khan, 7 Khalid Kail, 8 Shakeel Ahmad, 9 Rafiullah, 10 Fayyaz Butt, 11 Bilal KhanSaudi envoy extends royal invitation to Pakistan team if they win T20 World CupPakistan will look to be positive at T20 World Cup, Babar saysUSA, Canada face to face in T20 World Cup 2024 opener in DallasModi's BJP retains power in Arunachal Pradesh on Chinese borderArvind Kejriwal returns to jail after India vote endsLahore: Photos of the accused who attacked Zainab on public display
