Team Previews
Oman Preview
Oman have been a formidable force in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, currently placed 3rd on the points table. Their most recent performance against the USA in a Super Over victory proves their fighting spirit. Leading from the front is the experienced batter Jatinder Singh, who has scored 428 runs in the tournament and recently scored a century against the USA. He is ably supported by Muhammad Nadeem and Vinayak Shukla, both of whom bring stability to the middle and lower orders.
On the bowling front, Shakeel Ahmed is Oman’s trump card, having picked up 35 wickets and often delivering under pressure. His knack for breakthroughs in the middle overs makes him a constant threat. The team also benefits from depth in all-rounders like Aamir Kaleem and Sufyan Mehmood.
Their recent win over Canada by 15 runs shows that Oman can edge out tight games through smart batting partnerships and disciplined bowling. With the team looking settled and in form, Oman will aim to consolidate their position in the top 3.
Canada Preview
Canada are hanging in the top half of the League 2 points table at 5th place, but they are under pressure after a narrow defeat to Oman. Their strength lies in a top-heavy batting unit led by Pargat Singh, who is the highest run scorer for the team with 557 runs in the tournament. He has been the most reliable batter, as seen in the previous match where he scored a composed 85.
However, the rest of the batting lineup has shown vulnerability. Navneet Dhaliwal and Yuvraj Samra have failed to convert starts into significant scores recently, leading to collapses in key games. In the bowling department, Dillon Heyliger is a consistent wicket-taker with 31 scalps and often takes on the role of death bowler. But support from the likes of Saad Bin Zafar and Kaleem Sana has been inconsistent.
Canada’s main concern lies in the lack of partnerships in the middle overs. While they are capable of chasing 250+ totals, they often lose momentum after key wickets fall. If they are to compete against Oman, a more balanced performance is required with both bat and ball.

- Players to Avoid: Yuvraj Samra (poor recent form), Mujibur Ali (low game time).
Favourite Team Today: Oman
Oman go into this match as clear favourites due to their superior team balance, recent form, and psychological advantage from their previous win over Canada. With a robust top order led by Jatinder Singh and a lethal bowling unit with Shakeel Ahmed at its core, Oman look more complete on paper. Their ability to close out tight games, as seen against the USA and Canada, highlights their maturity and composure under pressure. While Canada rely heavily on a few players like Pargat Singh and Dillon Heyliger, Oman have multiple match-winners contributing in tandem. If their middle-order fires and the bowlers remain consistent, Oman are likely to dominate proceedings and extend their winning streak.
