Australia vs Oman match prediction [Source: X]

It has been a heartbreaking affair for Australia in the T20 World Cup 2026. After the tournament exit, Mitchell Marsh and co are set to face Oman for their final match of the mega ICC event on February 20. The clash is set to take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele as the match will go live from 7:00 PM IST.

Australia had a disappointing campaign with only 1 win out of the 3 matches they played and were eliminated after Zimbabwe was rewarded a point due to the Ireland match washout. 

Oman too has been eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2026 as they eye their first win of the tournament against Australia. Though the match is a dead rubber, pride will take the front seat as the Men in Yellow will aim to make a statement before finally leaving the event.

AUS vs OMN: Key player battles

Travis Head vs Jiten Ramanandi

Travis Head has been one of the most destructive batters in world cricket over the last couple of years. Jiten Ramanandi, a left-arm pace bowler, will likely get the new ball or bowl in the powerplay for Oman. If Ramanandi can swing the ball early or cramp Head for room, he has a chance to disrupt Australia's momentum.

Glenn Maxwell vs Shakeel Ahmed

Glenn Maxwell in full flow is box-office entertainment. His 360-degree hitting, especially against spin, can change games in minutes. Shakeel Ahmed, a left-arm orthodox spinner, will be one of Oman's key slow-bowling options. Left-arm spin has occasionally asked questions of Maxwell in the past. If Shakeel can bowl tight lines and vary his pace, he might force a rare quiet period from Maxwell. 

Adam Zampa vs Jatinder Singh

Adam Zampa is Australia’s go-to white-ball wrist-spinner and one of the best in the world at controlling the middle overs. Jatinder Singh, Oman’s captain and a seasoned top-order batter, will need to anchor the innings if Oman are to post or chase a competitive total. Much will depend on how well Jatinder picks Zampa’s variations and whether he can rotate strike or go over the top without taking undue risk.

Historically, teams batting first have won most of the matches here, and hence, the captain winning the toss here would also like to bat first to best utilise the pitch before dew and humidity settle in at night.
