Australia will lock horns against Oman in the 10th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Thursday. Australia has picked a solid team for the T20I showpiece, so much so that Steve Smith doesn’t find a place in the team.
The likes of Marcus Stoinis, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins were in solid form in the IPL and they will be looking to continue the good show for the national team. Australia has always been a force to reckon with in the major ICC events and once again they will be favorites to go all the way.
On the other hand, it will be a great opportunity for Oman to learn from the best in the business. They suffered a Super Over loss against Namibia after a fine bowling performance.
