Match Preview

The contest is a crucial Group B opener for both sides, who are competing alongside heavyweights like Australia and Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe, led by Sikandar Raza, relies heavily on the experience of veterans such as Brendan Taylor and the clinical bowling of Blessing Muzarabani.

Conversely, Oman, captained by Jatinder Singh, has undergone a significant squad overhaul but retains a spin-heavy strategy perfectly suited for Sri Lankan conditions. Oman’s recent successful chase of 187 against Zimbabwe in their warm-up match has set the stage for a highly competitive official encounter.
