AUS vs OMN, Match 40, Cricket Tips: The group stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 has come to an end, and all four spots in the Super 8 are filled. But shockingly, Australia, have been eliminated, and they suffered an early group exit. Australia will be facing Oman in the last group game in Pallekele.

This contest is slated to be held at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Friday at 7 PM IST. Mitchell Marsh missed the first two games and was back in the previous game. He and Travis Head scored a fifty each but couldn't save the team from elimination. They will look to end the poor campaign with a consolation win. Oman have been very poor with form and tactics and have yet to win a game so far.

AUS vs OMN: Ground Pitch Report

The last game in Pallekele was washed out, and we can also see for this game as well. The wicket here is good to bat in the first innings, but the wicket will grip more in the lateral stages of the game. Hence, the toss will be key here, and bowling first can be an advantage.

AUS vs OMN Possible XIs

Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Travis Head, Cameron Green, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa

Oman: Aamir Kaleem, Jatinder Singh (c), Hammad Mirza, Ashish Odedara, Mohammad Nadeem, Jiten Ramanandi, Vinayak Shukla (wk), Nadeem Khan, Sufyan Mehmood, Shah Faisal, Shakeel Ahmed

AUS vs OMN: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Mitchell Marsh slammed a fifty on his return and was clear in his intent. That makes him a dangerous batter. For Oman, captain Jatinder Singh has the technique to score freely here in Pallekele, and he will be a big wicket in the game.

Probable Best Bowler

Adam Zampa has looked average in the last two games, but he won't be an easy bowler to pick for this opposition. Sufyan Mehmood has been on the radar this edition and is bowling well at the moment.

Today Match Prediction: Australia have struggled in these conditions, but that doesn't make them weak. We predict them to beat Oman in this game.
