Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Australia won the toss and elected to field against Oman in the 40th match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka, on Friday.

Australia have made a solitary change to their line-up, with Matt Renshaw drafted in to replace Cooper Connolly. Meanwhile, Oman have rung in multiple changes, bringing in Karan Sonavale, Wasim Ali, Jay Odedra, and Shafiq Jan, while Ashish Odedara, Nadeem Khan, and Sufyan Mehmood make way.

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said, "We are going to bowl first. It's a fresh wicket. We respect it. Things didn't go as planned for us as a team. We'll reflect on it and get better moving forward. It is a disappointing group not making it to the Super 8s, but tonight is a World Cup fixture, and we want to finish with a win. We have one change, Matt Renshaw comes in for Cooper Connolly.”
