Export to Sheets
Zimbabwe’s Tactical Change: The biggest talking point from the team sheet is the presence of the legendary Brendan Taylor as the designated wicketkeeper. His return adds immense experience to the middle order. The bowling attack looks lethal with the pace duo of Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava, supported by the spin of Wellington Masakadza.
Oman’s Challenge: Oman, led by Jatinder Singh, will need to post a competitive total. Their lineup features a mix of steady accumulators and spin-bowling all-rounders. They will rely heavily on their slow bowlers to defend whatever target they set.

Key Battles to Watch
1. Sikandar Raza vs Oman Spinners Sikandar Raza is in the form of his life. However, Oman possesses a battery of left-arm spinners like Aamir Kaleem and Wasim Ali. Raza’s ability to counter the spin in the middle overs will likely decide the flow of Zimbabwe’s chase.
2. Richard Ngarava vs Jatinder Singh The tall left-arm pacer Richard Ngarava generates steep bounce. Oman’s captain, Jatinder Singh, likes to dominate early. If Ngarava can nick him off in the Powerplay, Oman could struggle to reach a par score of 160.
3. Brendan Taylor’s Return All eyes are on Brendan Taylor. Having been a stalwart of Zimbabwean cricket, his experience at No. 4 provides the stability that the team has often lacked. His battle against the medium pace of Jitenkumar Ramanandi will be crucial.
Pitch Report & Conditions
With Zimbabwe choosing to bowl, the captain clearly expects the pitch to stay true or get better for batting under lights.
- Initial Movement: Pacers like Blessing Muzarabani and Faisal Shah might find some swing in the first 3 overs.
- Spin: The pitch typically slows down, bringing spinners into play. Oman has loaded their side with spin options (Off-spin, Leg-spin, and Left-arm orthodox) to exploit this.
- Par Score: On this surface, a total of 165-175 is considered competitive. If Oman scores anything less than 150, Zimbabwe’s deep batting lineup should chase it down comfortably.
Match Prediction
Given the team combinations and the toss advantage:
- Zimbabwe starts as clear favorites. Their bowling attack covers all bases (Left-arm pace, Right-arm pace, Off-spin, Leg-spin).
- Oman has an uphill task. They need their openers, Jatinder Singh and Aamir Kaleem, to survive the new ball burst from Ngarava and Muzarabani to stand a chance.
Prediction: Zimbabwe to win by 6 wickets (if chasing) or defend a total comfortably.
