Oman Team News & Playing 11
OMAN Team News
Oman have retained the entire squad from their previous tri-series at home that also featured United Arab Emirates and Namibia. Jatinder Singh, Khawar Ali, Aqib Ilyas and skipper Zeeshan Maqsood will form the top-order batting while the likes of Mohammad Nadeem, Suraj Kumar and Sandeep Goud will make up the middle order. Bilal Khan will be spearheading Oman's bowling attack and is likely to be partnered by Kaleemullah. Khawar Ali, Zeeshan Maqsood and Badal Singh are the three spin options in the side.
OMAN Key Players
Bilal Khan: He was the leading wicket-taker in last year's T20 World Cup Qualifier and is certainly among the best bowlers in Associate cricket. The fast bowler was impressive in the last game against Nepal, returning figures of 2-36 from 8.5 overs.
Jatinder Singh: He is a key man for Oman at the top of the order. The opener played a vital role in helping his team qualify for the T20 World Cup to be played later this year and he recently smashed a half-century against the UAE.
Aqib Ilyas: He is one of the leading run-getters in the ongoing ICC CWC League 2 having scored 324 runs at an average of 54. The top-order batsman has cracked three fifties including the 80 not-out against the UAE last month.
OMAN Recent Form
With a convincing 18-run win over Nepal, Oman have jumped to the second spot on the points table of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2. They have now won five out of the nine matches they have played so far in the tournament. Oman did not have a good game with the bat last time out with Nepal restricting them to 197-9 in their 50 overs. However, their bowlers stepped up and knocked the opposition over for 179 to hand the team a fantastic victory.
Oman Predicted Playing 11
Jatinder Singh, Khawar Ali, Aqib Ilyas, Zeeshan Maqsood (c), Mohammad Nadeem, Suraj Kumar (wk), Sandeep Goud, Badal Singh, Naseem Khushi, Kaleemullah, Bilal Khan
USA Team News & Playing 11
USA Team News
United States have named an unchanged squad from the UAE tri-series. Xavier Marshall, who struck a half-century in the last game against Scotland, will open the innings alongside Monank Patel while Steven Taylor and Aaron Jones will bat at numbers three and four respectively. Ian Holland, wicketkeeper Akshay Homraj and Nisarg Patel will form the middle-order batting. Fast bowlers Saurabh Netravalkar and Rusty Theron will be leading the bowling attack for USA.
USA Key Players
Aaron Jones: He is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the CWC league 2 with 346 runs at an average of 43.25. Jones has three fifties to his name and is coming off three big knocks in his last four matches.
Saurabh Netravalkar: The skipper will be a big threat on this pitch, particularly with the new ball. The left-arm swing bowler has picked 12 wickets in 8 matches and that too at a very healthy economy of 3.14.
Steven Taylor: He is a serious talent in this USA line-up. Taylor has performed consistently well in all three departments of the game. He hit a half-century in the last game against Scotland and is a handy option with the ball as well.
USA Recent Form
United States have won six and lost two out of the eight matches they have played so far in the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2019-22 and are currently topping the points table with 12 points. They performed very well in the recent ODI tri-series in the UAE that also involved the hosts and Scotland, winning three games out of four. USA played their last match against Scotland in Dubai where faced a four-wicket defeat.
USA Predicted Playing 11
Xavier Marshall, Monank Patel, Steven Taylor, Aaron Jones, Ian Holland, Akshay Homraj (wk), Nisarg Patel, Cameron Stevenson, Rusty Theron, Saurabh Netravalkar (c), Nosthush Kenjige
Oman vs USA Head to Head
Oman and United States have never faced each other before in a one-day international. Thursday's match will be the first-ever ODI to be played between these two nations.
🏆 Oman vs USA Prediction
Oman have notched up a win in the opening match of the Nepal tri-series and that should boost their confidence heading into this match. They, however, struggled a lot with their batting the other day and that will be a big cause for concern for them. The United States have surprised everyone with their performances in this CWC League 2 tournament. They have won six of their eight matches and are sitting at the top of the table. They have quite a few quality players in their ranks and we have a feeling that they could pip Oman in this match.
