Expert Advice:
It seems a lot of people have picked Amanda D’Costa and Suhani Dadwal in their respective fantasy teams. As per our reading of this tour, the two players were present in the Oman team only as reserves. Both of them are not going to take part in the T20I series irrespective of their performances in the 35-over match played on Monday.
Probable Winners:
The recent form and home advantage make Oman the better side of the two.
