NAM vs OMA Probable Winners:

Both teams performed admirably to qualify for the World Cup, and there is no clear favorite to win this match. Namibia is riding a wave of momentum into this match, having won three of their previous five meetings with Oman, including the most recent two. Their impressive T20I series victory against Oman will undoubtedly boost their confidence. While both sides have players capable of turning the tide, Namibia’s recent form suggests they have the advantage and are likely to win. However, based on the records, we believe Namibia has a stronger squad. Considering the team combination, Namibia are expected to win this match.
