Oman's batting relies mainly on Khawar Ali, Jatinder Singh, Aamir Kaleem and Khurram Nawaz. Khawar has scored the most runs for the team in T20Is. But the opener has managed to score just seven runs so far in this tournament and this will put additional pressure on the rest of the top-order batsmen. Jatinder has batted well in both the games, especially in the last game against Netherlands. Khurram too made a significant contribution last time and the hosts will want both these batsmen to continue their good form. Oman have some talented bowlers in their side with pacers Bilal Khan, Mohammad Nadeem and Fayyaz Butt being the ones to watch out for. Fayyaz was the most impressive of the trio in the game against Ireland where he picked up two wickets for just 19 runs from his four overs. While he is going to be Oman's key man with the ball, it will be up to Bilal to inflict damage on Scotland in the powerplay.

In terms of batting, George Munsey, Matthew Cross, Kyle Coetzer and Calum MacLeod are the big guns for Scotland. MacLeod has been their most consistent performer with the bat for quite some time now. He cracked a half-century against Netherlands and he will be expected to play a big knock in this match as well. Cross, who had top-scored with 47 against Oman in the 2017 Desert T20 Challenge, is another reliable batsman at the top of the order. Fast bowlers Safyaan Sharif and Alasdair Evans along with left-arm spinner Mark Watt are the major threats in Scotland's bowling group. Sharif and Watt took five wickets between themselves against Oman in the Desert T20 Challenge and they are expected to cause problems for the hosts once again. Evans bowled a miserly spell against the Dutch and he will look to frustrate the Omani batsmen by making them work hard to score their runs.

Oman and Scotland have faced each other just once in a T20 international. Their solitary meeting came in January 2017 in the Desert T20 Challenge at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Oman set a target of 134 for Scotland after winning the toss and opting to bat first. Scotland then got themselves off to a good start and completed a successful run-chase to win the match by seven wickets.
Matches Played: 1; Oman Won: 0; Scotland Won: 1
Oman have the benefit of playing at home and they are familiar with the ground conditions as opposed to Scotland who will be playing just their third game at this venue. Scotland, however, have the psychological advantage of having beaten Oman convincingly at the 2017 Desert T20 Challenge in Dubai where the conditions were pretty similar. Scotland seem to have more depth in their batting department which is another reason why we are backing them to prevail in this final match of the Oman Quadrangular Series 2019.
Final Verdict: Back Scotland to beat Oman.
