Preview:
Germany Women are on the verge of their maiden series victory after taking an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the 4-match T20I series against the Oman Women. The German side came into the Oman tour having lost all the four T20Is they played previously. They won the first game by a huge 115-run margin before following it with a 6-wicket victory while chasing 100. Oman Women won three of their first three T20Is but now have lost three successive T20Is. They will be hoping to win the remaining two matches and level the series.
Weather Condition/Report:
The weather over the Al Amerat Ground is expected to be clear from clouds on Friday.
Pitch Condition/Report:
The Al Amerat’s Ministry Turf 1 ground will be hosting a day/night game after a rest day. Hence, we can expect a fresh track which might not have much for the bowlers. With the dew factor coming during the 2nd innings, the teams winning the toss are likely to bowl first.

Expert Advice:
Both Oman and Germany teams didn’t make any surprising selections in the first two matches. Germany, who won both the matches, fielded the same XI. The home team, Oman Women, made only one change to the XI that was part of a huge loss in the first T20I. Hence, we expect both teams not to bring any fresh strategies after a rest day.
Probable Winners:
Oman Women are expected to bounce back and register their first win of the series.
