Australia will square off against Oman in the 10th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Thursday. The Aussies are always favorites in the major ICC events and once again they will look to go all the way.
Australian big players are known to shine in the major matches and they will be looking to deliver the goods. Mitchell Starc recently proved his mettle in the IPL playoffs for Kolkata Knight Riders and helped the team in clinching their third title.
Furthermore, players like Marcus Stoinis, Travis Head, Tim David, and Pat Cummins are in decent form and they are going to hold the key. Australia has a lot of experience at the top level and they will look to come up with a collective effort throughout the tournament.
Australia have aggressive batters in their line-up and the pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood is one of the best in the world.
On the other hand, it is going to be an uphill task for Oman against the potent Australian team. Oman gave a stiff challenge to Namibia in their opener but there is no doubt that facing Australia will be a different ball game altogether.
Head to Head: Both the teams have never faced each other in T20Is.
Australia squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
