It will be a close contest in the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2019-23 where Oman would take on the United States of America.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Oman Preview

Zeeshan Maqsood’s side extended its lead on the points table with a 13-run win against Nepal in the last game. It was a good show by their bowlers as they successfully defended a small total. However, Maqsood would be aware of the strengths that the United States has after their loss against them earlier in the week. He would like to see a good show from his batsmen as they play this game.  

Jatinder Singh and Kashyap Prajapati would be expected to provide a good start as they take on a good new-ball attack. Maqsood scored a hundred in the last game, and this would make him confident. He must build partnerships with Shoaib Khan and Mohammad Nadeem in this game. The side has good hitters of the ball to follow in Khawar Ali, Ayaan Khan, and Suraj Kumar.  

Their bowlers would be confident after the good show in the last game and the side would like to see good spells from Kaleemullah and Bilal Khan. Maqsood bowled well in the last game, and he would aim to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs with Fayyaz Butt, Khawar Ali, and Ayaan Khan.  

Oman Predicted Playing XI:

Zeeshan Maqsood (c), Kashyap Prajapati, Jatinder Singh, Shoaib Khan, Khawar Ali, Mohammad Nadeem, Ayaan Khan, Suraj Kumar (wk), Fayyaz Butt, Kaleemullah, Bilal Khan

United States Of America Preview

Monank Patel’s team comes into this contest with a tie against Nepal. The US skipper would be upset as his side failed to score the required 1 run of the last two deliveries to end the game with a tie. It was a good run chase, but the team lost its nerves in the final moments of the game. They must put this behind them and come up with a strong show against Oman to improve its performance.  

Openers Steven Taylor and Sushant Modani have scored runs in recent games and they would need to set up a strong platform for the side. Patel has been leading from the front and he will have to guide the innings in the middle overs with Aaron Jones and Gajanand Singh. The lower middle-order hasn't been at its best and the team would need good performances from Rahul Jariwala and Nisarg Patel in this game.  

Saurabh Netravalkar has shown good form with the new ball, and he must get early breakthroughs for the side along with Ali Khan. Rusty Theron did well, and he will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs of the game. The side would hope to see good spells from Yasir Mohammad, Steven Taylor, and Nisarg Patel as Oman have good hitters of the ball in the side.

United States Of America Predicted Playing XI:

Monank Patel (c & wk), Steven Taylor, Sushant Modani, Aaron Jones, Gajanand Singh, Rahul Jariwala, Saurabh Netravalkar, Rusty Theron, Yasir Mohammad, Ali Khan, Nisarg Patel

United States Of America Actual Playing XI:

Rusty Theron, C Stevenson, Sushant Modani, Yasir Mohammed, Saurabh Netravalkar, Nisarg Patel, Nosthush Kenjige, SR Taylor, Gajanand Singh, Aaron Jones, Monank Patel

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be clear skies over Houston on June 12, and we expect to see another flat track where batsmen would enjoy their time. The ball would come onto the bat nicely allowing batsmen to play their strokes. The side batting first shall look to make 300 runs to feel safe on this wicket.

Venue Details

Prairie View Cricket Complex, Houston is a small ground and has a batting-friendly surface. We have seen big scores being put on the board. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers. Spinners do well as the ball gets old and starts to turn sharply, especially in the second innings of the game.

Toss: To Bat

In most of the recent games, we have seen sides putting up big scores batting first and winning the games comfortably. The wickets have slowed down towards the end, and this is making run chases difficult. The side winning the toss here would have little hesitation in batting first.
