Match 11 of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will be played between Oman and Sri Lanka at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Both teams have started their campaign on a winning note.
Sri Lanka started their campaign with a 175-run victory over UAE in their opening fixture. After being asked to bat, they posted a big total of 355/6 in 20 overs. Kusal Mendis’ innings of 78 runs off 63 balls and Sadeera Samarawickrama’s knock of 73 runs off 64 balls were crucial contributions in achieving such a formidable score. Later in the game, Wanindu Hasaranga claimed six crucial wickets at an impressive economy rate of just three runs per over to help defend the target.
Oman, meanwhile, find themselves on the brink of securing a spot in the super six stage. With two consecutive victories, they currently lead the Group B points table with four points and a commendable net run rate of +0.368.
Opting to bowl first against UAE in their most recent game, Oman were helped by Jay Odedra, who took three wickets, restricting UAE to a below-par total of 227/8. In the chase, Shoaib Khan remained unbeaten on 52 runs, while Mohammad Nadeem contributed a valuable half-century to chase down the target with four overs to spare.
