Australia will be squaring off against Oman in Match 10 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown.

Having last participated in a T20I series in February, the team subsequently reconvened, with the majority of the 15-member squad (excluding those recently relieved of their IPL duties) partaking in a couple of warm-up fixtures. Australia, in short, have not played together as a unit for some time. Nevertheless, with most of the squad involved in the IPL, their spirits are expected to be elevated.

As for Oman, they have won nine of the 14 T20Is since March, with Papua New Guinea and Namibia touring and the ACC Men's Premier Cup 2024. It is safe to say that they have enjoyed a considerable amount of game time, albeit not against the sides of Australia's caliber. They will enter the match with a tinge of disappointment though, having come agonisingly close a victory in their curtain-raiser against Namibia at the same venue, only to succumb by 11 runs in the Super Over.
