Toss Prediction
The toss-winning team has opted to bowl first on all four occasions in this series. And since two of the last three matches at this venue have been won by the side bowling first, the team that wins the toss here on Tuesday is likely to continue the trend of bowling first.
Weather Report
A sunny day with absolutely no chance of rain is what has been forecast for this game. Temperature is not expected to drop less than 13 degrees Celsius and exceed more than 17 degrees Celsius during the match. Humidity could be close to 50% for most part of the day.
Pitch Condition
Four matches have been played so far at this ground in this series and 250 has been achieved here just once. The pitch has not favored the batsmen too much and one can expect another low-scoring encounter on Tuesday.

USA Team News & Playing 11
USA Team News
United States had made just the one change in their team for the previous match against hosts Nepal; they dropped leg-spinner Timil Patel and brought in fast bowler Cameron Stevenson who is likely to be retained in the main eleven after his impressive showing with the ball, returning figures of 10-2-30-3. The USA are coming into this game with a clean bill of health as none of their players have been reported to be injured.
USA Key Players
Aaron Jones: He is currently the second-highest run-getter in the CWC League 2 having scored 363 runs. The opener has smashed three fifties so far and will be eyeing another 50+ score on Tuesday.
Saurabh Netravalkar: The USA skipper has led from the front and is among the tournament's best bowlers with 15 wickets at an excellent economy of 3.23. The left-arm quick is the biggest threat in this bowling attack.
Cameron Stevenson: He is the team's next-best bet with the ball. The pacer has picked 12 wickets so far at an economy of 4.36 and has snared a three-wicket haul in each of his last four matches.
USA Recent Form
United States are currently positioned second on the points table of the 2019-22 ICC Cricket World Cup League Two with six wins and four losses from ten matches. They had a pretty successful UAE tri-series where they secured three wins from four games but have faced disappointment so far in the ongoing series, suffering defeats in their opening two fixtures; after a six-wicket loss to Oman, the USA went down by 35 runs in Saturday's encounter against Nepal.

Oman Team News & Playing 11
OMAN Team News
Oman don't seem to be carrying any injuries with them into this game and they are unlikely to make any changes to their line-up that beat Nepal in the last game. Mohammad Sanuth was drafted into the eleven last time out as a replacement for Jay Odedra who was a touch expensive in the three overs that he had bowled in the reverse encounter against the United States. Jatinder Singh and Khawar Ali will continue to open the batting while pacers Bilal Khan and Kaleemullah will share the new ball once again.
OMAN Key Players
Aqib Ilyas: Averaging 72.14 and with 505 runs under his belt, Aqib Ilyas is leading the runs chart in the CWC League two. The top-order batsman has cracked four fifties and is coming off an unbeaten 109 against Nepal.
Zeeshan Maqsood: The captain is the tournament's joint-highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets in 9 matches. The left-arm spinner is having an impressive economy of 3.49 and had picked 2-29 in the reverse encounter against the USA.
Bilal Khan: The pacer is among the top five bowlers in the tournament with 15 wickets in 8 matches at an economy of 4.23. Bilal had claimed a four-fer last month against Namibia and he will look to replicate that performance here.
OMAN Recent Form
Oman are leading the 2019-22 CWC League Two points table having won seven and lost two out of the nine matches they have played so far. They had a good run in the Scotland tri-series where they won three of their four fixtures before securing a win and a loss from two matches at home. Oman have looked very impressive in the ongoing series, winning three games on the bounce. They were outstanding with the ball in the first two matches while their batsmen stepped up last time to chase down the target of 250.

USA vs Oman Head to Head
Oman registered a six-wicket win when the two teams faced each other last Thursday for the very first time in the fifty-over format. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Zeeshan Maqsood's men restricted the United States to 213 courtesy of impressive bowling performances by the skipper himself along with Mohammad Nadeem, Bilal Khan and Aqib Ilyas. In reply, Oman lost Jatinder Singh early on but fine half-centuries from Aqib Ilyas and Mohammad Nadeem took them over the line in the final over.

🏆 USA vs Oman Prediction
United States have not been up to the mark in the past few matches. They are coming off defeats in their last three matches straight and will be desperate to put an end to their losing streak. Oman, on the other hand, are flying high on confidence after having won their last three matches. They are topping the leaderboard and have the psychological advantage of having beaten the USA in last week's reverse fixture. Oman are the in-form team at the moment and we are backing them to bag their fourth successive win.
