Oman Team News & Playing 11
OMAN Team News
Oman made just the one change to their side in the last match against Nigeria - they dropped an under-performing Fayyaz Butt and replaced him with medium pacer Kaleemullah. The latter is expected to be retained for this upcoming match against Canada and could again open the bowling with Bilal Khan. Oman are free from all injury concerns at the moment and they could go into this game with an unchanged line-up.
OMAN Key Players
Jatinder Singh: With 96 runs in four matches and having a strike-rate of 133.33, Jatinder Singh has scored the most runs for Oman in this tournament. The opener is coming off a 22-ball 48 against Nigeria and he will be expected to play a similar innings on Friday.
Khawar Ali: Jatinder Singh's opening partner Khawar Ali is another key figure in Oman's batting line-up. He recently cracked a half-century against Ireland. Khawar will also have a big role to play with the ball. He has taken six wickets so far including a three-wicket haul against Hong Kong.
Aamir Kaleem: He is featuring amongst the tournament's top five bowlers with seven wickets at a very impressive economy rate of 4.83. The left-arm spinner returned outstanding figures of 4-14 last time out against Nigeria and he will look to carry that form into this match.
OMAN Recent Form
Oman are showing impressive form in the game's twenty-over format, winning seven of their last eight T20 internationals. With three wins from their first four matches, they are currently positioned second on the Group B leaderboard in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. After beating United Arab Emirates by seven wickets in their campaign opener, they beat Hong Kong by the same margin before suffering a 35-run loss to Ireland. Oman faced Nigeria in their last match and again emerged victorious by seven wickets.
Oman Predicted Playing 11
Khawar Ali, Jatinder Singh, Aqib Ilyas, Khurram Nawaz, Aamir Kaleem, Zeeshan Maqsood (c), Suraj Kumar (wk), Sandeep Goud, Mohammad Nadeem, Kaleemullah, Bilal Khan
Canada Team News & Playing 11
CAN Team News
Canada decided to add more depth to their batting in the last match against Hong Kong by drafting Rodrigo Thomas and Abraash Khan into the playing eleven. Nicholas Kirton and Romesh Eranga were the ones to make way for them. With Romesh Eranga sidelined, Jeremy Gordon will probably continue to lead the team's bowling attack. We don't expect Canada to make any changes to their line-up for this match.
CAN Key Players
Nitish Kumar: He is currently leading the tournament's runs charts and has made healthy contributions with the bat in almost every game. Nitish smashed 53 runs off 35 balls in Wednesday's match against Ireland and the team will want him to continue his excellent form.
Dillon Heyliger: He has been the most successful bowler for Canada in this tournament with seven wickets in four matches at an acceptable economy of 7. The medium pacer has notched a couple of three-wicket hauls - against Jersey and Nigeria. He will be backed by his team to do some early damage in the powerplay.
Navneet Dhaliwal: The skipper has been among the runs and has a pretty good strike-rate as well. The right-handed opener recently hit a fifty versus Ireland and he will be expected to deliver another match-winning performance for his team.
CAN Recent Form
Canada are yet to face defeat this year in the T20 format - they have played eight completed matches so far and have won all of them. They are currently topping the Group B points table in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier with three wins from as many matches. Canada thrashed Jersey and Nigeria by 53 runs and 50 runs respectively and then defeated Ireland by 10 runs to extend their winning streak.
Canada Predicted Playing 11
Rodrigo Thomas, Navneet Dhaliwal (c), Rizwan Cheema, Nitish Kumar, Ravinderpal Singh, Hamza Tariq (wk), Dillon Heyliger, Abraash Khan, Saad Bin Zafar, Nikhil Dutta, Jeremy Gordon
Oman vs Canada Head to Head
Oman and Canada have never played a T20 international against each other. This will be the first time that these two countries will be going head-to-head in the shortest format of the game.
🏆 Oman vs Canada Prediction
Oman and Canada are both looking on top of their game in this ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. Both have played a couple of matches at this ground and have registered wins on both occasions. Canada's batsmen have fired and they will need them to bat well against the quality spin attack of Oman. Although both the teams have been impressive so far, we are backing Oman to win on Friday and boost their chances of finishing at the top of the leaderboard.
Final Verdict: Back Oman to beat Canada.
