Oman vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
Sri Lanka and Oman meet in the second and final IT20 of the series at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground on Saturday evening. The opening game of the series saw Sri Lanka win by 19 runs. The hosts restricted Sri Lanka to 162-4 before making 143-8 in their own innings. Read on as we preview this match. The series finale begins at 18:30 local time.
Oman made an excellent start to the first match and had Sri Lanka struggling at 7-2 at the end of the second over. However, they too lacked top order runs and if they can fix that then they could win this match.
Sri Lanka never make things easy for themselves and losing experienced keeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal for a golden duck was not part of the script. They should have more than enough talent to win this game and the series.

OMAN Team News
Oman gave a debut to opener Kashyap Prajapati in Thursday’s match but he only lasted 4 balls before edging behind to Dinesh Chandimal from the bowling of Nuwan Pradeep. However, we expect Prajapati to be given another opportunity in this match.
OMAN Key Players
- Mohammad Nadeem - The 39-year old batting all-rounder was the first Oman batter to get to grips with the pitch and the Sri Lanka bowling in the opening match. His experience was vital to the side.
- Naseem Khushi - The keeper-batsman made his highest T20 score on Thursday. He hit 4 sixes and 2 fours in his very useful lower-order innings.
- Fayyaz Butt - T20 cricket is all about taking wickets and that is what Fayyaz Butt does. He took the key wickets of Dinesh Chandimal and Kamindu Mendis in successive balls to get Oman’s hopes up.
Oman have struggled for consistency across all forms of the game but showed glimpses of quality in the opening match.
Oman Predicted Playing 11
Khawar Ali, Kashyap Prajapati, Jatinder Singh, Zeeshan Maqsood (c), Aqib Ilyas, Naseem Khushi (wk), Mohammad Nadeem, Fayyaz Butt, Sandeep Goud, Kaleemullah, Ayan Khan

SL Team News
Sri Lanka found themselves in a spot of trouble after both Dinesh Chandimal and Kamindu Mendis were dismissed for golden ducks. However, they showed they have batting depth in the side. Kusal Perera was left out as he targets full fitness for the World Cup opener.
SL Key Players
- Dinesh Chandimal - The vastly experienced keeper batsman lasted only one ball with the bat but took four catches behind the stumps.
- Dasun Shanaka - The captain hit an unbeaten half-century which included 5 sixes on Thursday. With an inexperienced bowling attack, he remained calm in the field.
- Lahiru Kamara - The fast bowler was very impressive in the opening game dismissing four of the Oman top seven batsmen.
Sri Lanka will be pleased to have returned to winning ways after losing their three previous T20 games.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka (c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Akila Dananjaya, Nuwan Pradeep, Lahiru Kumara
