ZIM vs OMA – WC Qualifiers – Team Previews

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s dominant performance in the ICC World Cup Qualifier continues as they head into the Super Six phase. With an undefeated record in the league stages, including a resounding 304-run victory against the United States of America, Zimbabwe has showcased their strength and prowess.

Led by the exceptional batting display of Sean Williams, who scored an impressive 174 runs from just 101 balls, Zimbabwe posted a formidable total of 408 runs. The Zimbabwe bowlers were equally impressive, restricting the USA team to a meagre score of 104 runs. With players like Williams, Raza, and Ervine delivering consistent performances, Zimbabwe has emerged as one of the heavy favourites to secure their spot in the upcoming World Cup in India.

Oman

In their previous match against Scotland, the Oman cricket team struggled to chase down a target of 320 runs. Despite some promising starts, none of the Oman batsmen were able to convert them into big scores.

The team found themselves in trouble early on, losing wickets regularly and eventually ending with a total of 244 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. However, Oman will look to bounce back in their upcoming match relying on key players like Kashyap Prajapati and Aqib Ilyas to perform well at the top of the batting order.

Their bowler Bilal Khan will also need support from his teammates to have a chance at causing an upset. Oman has had success while chasing in their recent matches, winning two out of their last five games. Consequently, it is likely that the captain who wins the toss will choose to field first.

ZIM vs OMA – WC Qualifiers – Pitch Reports and Toss Prediction

The Queens Sports Clu has a batting-friendly surface offering the batters a chance to showcase their skills. Expect to witness high-scoring matches at this venue, where the pitch favours the batsmen and allows them to play their shots with freedom. However, the speedsters might find it challenging to extract much assistance from the track, while the spinners have historically thrived on this surface.
