ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Oman will take over Scotland in a must-win match at Antigua. Oman has lost both matches and to qualify for the Super 8 they need to win this match on the other hand consistent Scotland will also look to win the match for the Super 8.
Oman should know the tactics to defeat Scotland as they have many match-winners and will try to defeat them very easily. Oman needs to plan wisely and Ayaan Khan who was the hero for Oman in the last match must be promoted up the order to score runs.
Scotland will try to remain consistent as they had a great time against England but rain washed out the match. Skipper Richie Berrington will keep an eye on every player to score well and especially George Munsey who has been very consistent in his batting will be on the radar.
Journey till now: OMAN and Scotland
Oman had a disastrous World Cup till now first they faced a loss against Namibia in the super over and next they suffered a loss against Australia so they are consistent but luck is not supporting so they will try to keep an eye on this match because it’s a must-win for them or else they will be knocked out from the tournament.

Pitch Report:
The caravan rolls into North Sound as Sir Vivian Richards Stadium hosts its first game of the T20 World Cup. There was a good grass cover on the pitch two days out from the game, but much of it has been shaved off, and batters can hope for a happy time.
