However, Bernard Scholtz had him leg before wicket in the seventh over to setback Oman further. Disciplined bowling from the tweakers ensured that Oman’s lower-order didn’t take off with the change of pace.
Namibia would seek to impress in their third successive appearance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. For Oman this is a return to the world stage in T20 format after their last appearance as co-hosts in 2021.
So far the two games in T20 World Cup have been won by sides batting second.
In their last meeting in the format, Namibia defeated Oman 3-2 in a five-game T20I series.
