Team Previews
Royal Oman Stallions Preview
Royal Oman Stallions had a nightmare start to their campaign, losing to Majees Titans by 69 runs. Their batting collapsed under pressure while chasing 151, eventually folding for just 86 runs. Muhammad Nadeem (23 runs) and Karan Sonavale (20 runs) were the only batters who showed some resistance. The lack of partnerships is a worrying sign, and the middle order will need to take responsibility.
On the bowling front, GL Yashas was the standout with 2 wickets, but the unit overall lacked consistency. The Stallions must work on tightening their lines to contain opposition batters. Going forward, the likes of Vinayak Shukla and Jiten Ramanandi must step up with the ball. If their batting fires, the Stallions have enough bowling depth to trouble IAS Invincibles and get their first win of the season.
IAS Invincibles Preview
IAS Invincibles also faced disappointment in their opening fixture, losing to Yalla Shabab Giants by 44 runs. Their bowling looked out of rhythm as they conceded 180 runs in 20 overs, despite Mansoor Ali Mazhar picking 3 wickets. The lack of support from other bowlers made things worse, and they leaked runs at crucial stages.
In batting, they failed to build momentum in the chase. Only Mansoor Ali Mazhar stood out with 40 runs, while others failed to convert starts. Their top order, including Anis Ur Rehman and Zohaib Amanat, will need to fire if they want to post or chase a competitive total. The Invincibles look balanced on paper but must show better application on the field. A collective effort will be key to overcoming the Stallions.

Fantasy Team XI
| Player | Role |
|---|---|
| Zohaib Amanat | Batter |
| Anis Ur Rehman | Batter |
| Mohammad Nadeem | Batter |
| Karan Sonavale | All-rounder |
| Mansoor Ali Mazhar | All-rounder (C) |
| Saad Baggad | Batter |
| Yasir Dur | All-rounder |
| GL Yashas | Bowler |
| Bilal Khan | Bowler |
| Vinayak Shukla | Bowler |
| Imran Ali | Bowler (VC) |
Captain Picks: Mansoor Ali Mazhar, Zohaib Amanat
Vice-Captain Picks: Imran Ali, Mohammad Nadeem
Players to Avoid: Sudeep Chavan (poor recent form), Abdullah Faizan (inconsistent starter)
Analysis: The fantasy team balances top-order batters with all-rounders who can contribute in both departments. Mazhar is a safe captaincy choice given his batting and bowling form, while Imran Ali’s wicket-taking ability makes him a strong vice-captain option.
Favourite Team Today
Royal Oman Stallions enter this clash as slight favorites despite their poor opening match. The reason lies in their balanced squad and the fact that their bowling attack, led by GL Yashas and Vinayak Shukla, looks capable of exploiting Al Amerat conditions. If their batters like Mohammad Nadeem and Karan Sonavale find rhythm, the Stallions can easily dominate IAS Invincibles, who rely heavily on Mazhar. Their experience in Oman domestic cricket also gives them an edge, making them the better-placed team heading into this contest.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Al Amerat is generally balanced, offering assistance to both batters and bowlers. Batters can play shots freely once settled, but early swing and some turn later on can challenge them. A score of around 150–160 will be competitive.
Weather Report
Clear skies are expected in Al Amarat with temperatures hovering around 32°C. No rain is predicted, so a full game is on the cards.
