Preview:
Oman will take on Scotland in the Group B match of the T20 World Cup 2021 on Thursday. Oman started their campaign with a convincing 10-wicket victory over PNG, and then they lost to Bangladesh by 26 runs in their second fixture. They are in a must-win situation in order to finish in the top 2 spots.
Despite winning their first two matches against Bangladesh and PNG, Scotland’s qualification for Group 12 is still hanging in balance. They will need to win this match, as their net run-rate isn’t that great. They are at the top of the table in the Group B standings with 4 points.
