IRE vs OMN: Ground Pitch Report
Sinhalese Sports Club has a slow and low wicket, which will play well early on in favor of the batters. But with time, the wicket will break, and the bowlers will get a grip. That will make the shot-making difficult, and we might see batting second a little more challenging.

Ireland: Ross Adair, Tim Tector, Lorcan Tucker (c & wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Sam Topping, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Matthew Humphreys

IRE vs OMN: Player to Watch Out For
Probable Best Batter
Ross Adair has looked good in both innings, and he is the top scorer for Ireland so far. Captain Jatinder Singh needs to fire for Oman because he plays very fast and can score quickly in the powerplay.
Probable Best Bowler
Mark Adair bowled well against Australia and used his experience well on these slow wickets. Sufyan Mehmood has been the standout performer for Oman, who has taken most wickets in this tournament.
