The two umpires walk out to the middle followed by players from both sides who line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Scotland's first followed by the national anthem of Oman.

Richie Berrington, the captain of Scotland says that the wicket would not change much and they would have liked to bowl first anyways. Adds that it is a fresh wicket and with the wind blowing on one side, it could be tough to defend later on. Mentions that they have played a lot of high stakes matches and know how to handle the pressure. Informs that Bradley Currie is out and Safyaan Sharif comes in for his 200th game for Scotland.

Aqib Ilyas, the skipper of Oman says that they will bat first. Adds that the wicket looks good and they will like to put on a good total on the board. Mentions that their bowlers have done really well in this tournament and they want to give them a good total to defend. Informs they have made a couple of changes.

Scotland (Playing XI) - George Munsey, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington (C), Matthew Cross (WK), Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Chris Sole, Brad Wheal, Safyaan Sharif (In place of Bradley Currie).

Oman (Playing XI) - Naseem Khushi (WK), Pratik Athavale, Aqib Ilyas (C), Zeeshan Maqsood, Khalid Kail, Ayaan Khan, Mehran Khan, Rafiullah, Shakeel Ahmad, Kaleemullah, Bilal Khan.

TOSS - Oman have won the toss and they elected to BAT first.

Scotland in their last game showed they are team full of match winners and don't just rely on a player or two. It was their skipper and Leask who helped them topple Namibia. They would be eager to go 2 in 2 now which will boost their chances of going through to the next round massively. They are favourites and on paper are surely the better side. Stay tuned for toss and other updates.

The World Cup is moving along at a rapid pace and we are into game number 20. It is a clash between Oman and Scotland. The former are yet to win a game in the tournament. They lost one in the first Super Over of the tournament and the one against the Aussies. This probably is a must win game for them if they are going to have a chance of going through to the next round. They though are up against a Scottish side who are really high on confidence. Can they upset the odds? 

... MATCH DAY ...

Another day and another crucial game in the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup and up next, is a Group B clash that sees high-flying Scotland take on Oman in Match number 20. The match will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in NorthSound, Antigua and given how the group has stacked up so far, a win for Scotland will see them get into a wonderful position to make it through to the next stage of the competition. Oman, who are on the brink of elmination, have played some excellent cricket in patches but a loss here and they will be out of the competition. Scotland had a wash out in their first game against England but in that game, they batted for 10 overs and showed some real prowess as the two openers remained unbeaten and stitched together 90 runs. In their next game against Namibia, they were clinical and were able to chase down 150-odd runs without much of a fuss. Skipper, Richie Berrington starred with a knock of 47 runs but it was a fine all-round display from Michael Leask that really got them the win. Scotland have had quite a settled side for a few years now in this format of the game and are looking confident of rally challenging the big guns. Oman on the other hand almost pulled off a fine win against Namibia in their opening fixture only to suffer heartbreak in the Super Over. They again bowled really well against Australi for more than half of the innings but again, their batting display in the Powerplay let them down. Mehran Khan has been the consistent performer for them with the ball but they really need to step up with the bat. Skipper, Aqib Ilyas and former skipper Zeeshan Maqsood will be key as they have shown glimpses of what they can do and the openers will be raring to showcase their abilities after a couple of slim outings. An enticing contest on the cards and Oman might not be quite able to do enough to make the cut for the next round but they can surely make a huge dent in Scotland's aspirations. Who are you backing to get the win?
