England vs Oman Prediction: Both teams are struggling with bowling

England and Oman are going head to head in Match 28 of the ICC T20 World Cup at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Saint George, Antigua and Barbuda on 14th June 2024. Both teams are struggling with their bowling attack. Who will win this game of cricket?

In the last game, England's batting scored 165/6 in their 20 overs while chasing 202 runs. Jos Buttler (42 runs) and Phil Salt (37 runs) opened the innings and scored 73 runs in 7 overs during the powerplay. Despite contributions from Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone, England was not able to achieve the target set by Australia in the previous game. The bowlers conceded 201 runs in their 20 overs and will have to do better in the next games. Jofra Archer was the standout bowler for the English with figures of 4-0-28-1. He was also supported by Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid who took wickets but struggled to control the run rate effectively. Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone also bowled important overs. Key players in the game were Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, and Jos Buttler.

Oman scored 150/7 in their last game, with Pratik Athawale Obuya leading the team with 54 runs and Ayaan Khan contributing 41 runs. Mehran Khan and Khalil Aqib have also played well in the World Cup so far for Oman and will be looking to continue to do so in the next games. Bowling has been an issue for the team with the bowlers giving away 153/3 in merely 13.3 overs, resulting in a 7-wicket loss to Netherlands. Bilal Khan, Mehran Khan, and Aqib Ilyas each took a wicket, but it was not enough to make a significant impact.

Both the teams have struggled with bowling in their previous games respectively. England is considered one of the top teams in international cricket and one of the favourites to win this World Cup. They need to get their bowling attack organised and play well in the next few games to make it to the next round of the tournament. Oman has performed admirably and has punched above its weight in their game against host West Indies, but their lack of experience on the big stage may hinder their performance in this upcoming match. It is predicted that England will emerge victorious in this contest.
