Australia Aim for Redemption as They Face Oman in Crucial Final T20 World Cup Group Showdown
14 days and 39 matches played. The ICC Men's T20 World Cup reaches a key threshold as Australia v Oman clash on Friday marks the end of the group stage.
Australia cricket team tightened their grip against Oman cricket team in a ICC Men's T20 World Cup clash in Kandy as they looked to end their campaign with a confidence-boosting win.
As per the Cricket match live updates, Australia will aim to finish their T20 World Cup
trip on a positive note as they face Oman in Kandy on Friday. They wish to restore pride
after a disappointing drive. The former champions have endured a hard tournament and
are previously out of contention for a Super Eight spot resulting in the defeats to Sri Lanka
and Zimbabwe.
Instead of the early exit, Australia will look to convey a sturdy show and end their
campaign with drive. On the other hand, Oman is still looking for the first victory of the
tournament. It will be exciting to seize the chance and wind up the World Cup run on a
memorable high.
After choosing to field first, Australia has quickly stamped their authority on the game.
Xavier Bartlett castled Aamir Kaleem off the first ball of the innings and Oman was pegged
to just 47 runs and 3 wickets in powerplay.
Though Oman has been ticking at a good rate, Oman cricket team is in difficulty at 73/5 at
the halfway mark.
With the Australian team tightening their hold on the contest, the former winners seem
set to sign off their campaign with a much-required win and renewed self-assurance.
Meanwhile Oman will hope for a late fightback to finish their T20 World Cup trip with
pride despite a challenging outing.
As per the information shared by Oman captain Jatinder Singh, "100%, it is an
opportunity. And our team is looking forward to it. Because T20 is a game of momentum
and moments. If you play those moments right, you can do anything on that particular day."
