Australia vs Oman Match Prediction & Analysis

Australia’s exit from the tournament has surprised many. They began with a convincing win over Ireland but slipped against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Slow surfaces have exposed their middle order, but their top order remains dangerous, especially in powerplay overs.

Against Sri Lanka at this very venue, Australia raced to 70/0 in the powerplay and put on 104 runs in just 8.4 overs. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh showed what they are capable of when conditions suit.

Oman, on the other hand, has found the step up difficult. They have posted totals of 103, 120/9, and 139 in this competition. Against stronger bowling attacks, their batting has struggled to build sustained partnerships.

There has been one previous meeting between the two in this tournament format, and Australia won comfortably by 39 runs. Given the current form and squad strength, Australia remain overwhelming favourites.

AUS vs OMA Team Preview

Australia

Australia will leave this World Cup with regret. Back-to-back defeats against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka ended their Super 8 hopes. Injuries to Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins have weakened the bowling attack, but there is still quality in the ranks.

Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh form an aggressive opening pair. Their 104-run stand in 8.4 overs against Sri Lanka showed their intent. Tim David and Glenn Maxwell add middle-order firepower, while Marcus Stoinis provides depth and flexibility.

Nathan Ellis has been Australia’s most reliable bowler, taking four wickets at an economy of 7.20 in the tournament. Adam Zampa remains key in the middle overs.

AUS Probable Playing XI– Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, Tim David, Josh Inglis (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Cooper Connolly/Ben Dwarshuis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa

Oman

Oman’s campaign has been tough. Heavy defeats to Ireland and Sri Lanka exposed both their batting and bowling limitations. They have struggled to cross 140 consistently.

Captain Jatinder Singh remains central to their hopes. Aamir Kaleem has been one of their brighter spots, scoring 50 off 29 in the last match and maintaining an economy of 7.25 with the ball.

Shakeel Ahmed has taken three wickets in the tournament, but the bowling unit overall has conceded runs at over 10 per over in multiple games.

OMA Probable Playing XI– Aamir Kaleem, Jatinder Singh (c), Hammad Mirza, Ashish Odedara, Mohammad Nadeem, Jiten Ramanandi, Vinayak Shukla (wk), Nadeem Khan, Sufyan Mehmood, Shah Faisal, Shakeel Ahmed

With cloud cover expected and early assistance for seamers, the captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first. Recent matches at this venue have shown successful chases, including Sri Lanka comfortably chasing 180.

Toss Prediction: Bowl first

Australia vs Oman Winning Prediction

Australia have not been flawless in this World Cup, but the quality gap between these two sides is significant. Their top order is capable of overwhelming Oman inside the powerplay, and their bowling attack should exploit Oman’s fragile middle order.

Oman will need an exceptional performance from Jatinder Singh and Aamir Kaleem to make this competitive.

Final Prediction: Australia to win
