Pitch Report

The pitch in Al Amerat helped the spinners to a large extent in the previous night game. The pacers, however, might be a tad easier to play. Chasing should be the preferred option for teams. An overly high-scoring game doesn’t seem to be on the cards.

Head-to-head

Matches- 1, Oman – 0, Bangladesh – 1, N/R- 0

Probable best batter of the match

Liton Das (Bangladesh)

Liton Das has loads of potential, but he hasn’t been able to substantiate it at the highest level. The right-hander has shown sparks of brilliance a number of times, but has been inconsistent. In the previous game, Das scored five runs before Bradley Wheal accounted for his wicket. Das needs to find his form and help his team recover from the loss.

Probable best bowler of the match

Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh)

Mustafizur Rahman is currently Bangladesh leading fast bowler in the limited-overs formats. Not only does he pick up wickets, but also put a lid on the run-scoring. In the previous game, he showed his class and picked up two wickets at crucial junctures. He also bowled a maiden, although he went for 32 in the other three overs.

Today’s match prediction: Bangladesh to win the match.
