Preview
Matches are flying past us in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the next big match is between Scotland and Oman. It is a crucial game for both sides, with lots riding on it as far as their future in the tournament is concerned.
Oman (OMA) played out of their skin in the game against Namibia to nearly pull off a stunning win despite putting a small score on the board. The loss in the Super Over was a huge setback for Oman, as was seen during their match against Australia. The lack of experience showed as Oman were outplayed by Australia despite being in trouble early.
Scotland (SCO) began their tournament by sharing points with England after their game was rained out. In the very next match, Richie Barrington and his side defeated Namibia by five wickets with nine balls to spare to go top of the table with three points from two matches. It was a clinical performance by Scotland, as they batted and bowled well to claim two points.
