England To Face Oman In T20 World Cup 2024: Match 28 Preview And Insights

Published: Thursday, June 13, 2024, 14:24 [GST]

England will face Oman in the T20 World Cup 2024 Match 28 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua on Friday, June 14. The match will commence at 12:30 AM IST.

England are currently in a precarious position and need to win their remaining two games to have a chance of qualifying for the Super 8. Their first match against Scotland ended without a result due to rain, forcing them to share points. They lost their next match against Australia by 36 runs.

If Scotland win their last Group B game against Australia, they will qualify directly for the Super 8. Scotland currently have five points from three matches. England must hope for Scotland to lose against Australia and win their own matches with significant margins to finish with a better Net Run Rate (NRR) than Scotland. Australia have already qualified from Group B after winning each of their first three matches. Two teams from each of the five groups will qualify for the Super 8.

Oman, on the other hand, have lost all three of their matches and will play for pride against England. They lost their last match against Scotland by seven wickets.
