Zimbabwe vs Oman, Match 21
29th June, 12:30 PM IST
Queens Sports Club, Zimbabwe
The hosts, Zimbabwe, have been in sensational form throughout the tournament and are on the verge of securing a place in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Having won all of their group-stage matches, Zimbabwe finished at the top of the Group A points table.
In their previous game against the United States, Zimbabwe registered a dominant victory, powered by Sean Williams’ exceptional innings. Williams smashed 174 runs off just 101 balls at a staggering strike rate of 172.28. Zimbabwe posted a massive total of 408/6 in their 50 overs, and then their bowlers did the rest of the job, with Richard Ngarava and Sikander Raza picking up two wickets each. The United States were bundled out for a mere 104 runs, resulting in a comprehensive victory for Zimbabwe.
On the other hand, Oman started the tournament strongly but stumbled in their last two matches, including a 76-run defeat against Scotland in their previous match. They finished third in the Group B points table with four points. Oman will be eager to bounce back and regain their winning momentum.
