Oman and the United States of America will be up against each other in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 at Al Ameerat Cricket Ground, on Thursday (16 September). With nine victories in 11 games, Oman are at the top of the points table. They are followed by the USA, having won six matches and lost seven.
The USA will be coming off a five-wicket loss to Nepal. Monank Patel struck a century to propel Nepal to 230/9 in 50 overs. Other than Monank, only Nisarg Patel could surpass the 20-run mark.
Steven Taylor and Sushant Modani will open the innings. They might promote Jaskaran Malhotra up the order. The bowlers did well to keep the game alive till the penultimate over of the match. Nisarg conceded 33 from his quota of 10 overs and picked two wickets.
Oman, meanwhile, defeated Nepal by five wickets in their last game. They are a team to beat this season, and they also have the home advantage with them.
Oman chased down a target of 196 runs in 31.1 overs. Jatinder Singh starred with a 62-ball 107, smashing six sixes and twelve fours. They would expect a bit from their middle order of Ayan Khan and Zeeshan Maqsood.
Earlier, Bilal Khan picked up four wickets and Nestor Dhamba picked up two wickets. Kaleemullah was a bit expensive, but he is likely to retain his place.
