Ireland to face Oman in T20 World Cup 2026 [Source: @cricketireland, @ICC/X.com]

Ireland is set to clash with Oman in the 22nd fixture of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday, February 14. The match will be held at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo at 11:00 AM IST.

While qualification looks unlikely for both teams, this match could decide who avoids finishing at the bottom. Ireland have shown fight in patches but failed to close games. 

Oman, meanwhile, have struggled in both departments and suffered heavy defeats. Both sides will see this as a big chance to restore pride and end their campaign on a positive note.

Ross Adair vs Mohammad Nadeem

Ross Adair brings power at the top, while Mohammad Nadeem offers balance with medium pace and useful runs. The duo haven’t faced each other. But this contest will test their abilities to the best.

Jatinder Singh will look to attack early, but Craig Young has kept him quiet in past meetings. The Irish pacer has conceded just seven runs and picked up his wicket once in three T20I innings, giving him a slight edge in this contest.

George Dockrell vs Mohammad Nadeem

George Dockrell’s left-arm spin against Mohammad Nadeem’s medium pace makes this a quiet but key battle. Dockrell has kept things tight in past meetings, while Nadeem has scored at a steady rate. Neither has dominated yet, which makes this contest evenly poised.

IRE vs OMN: Toss prediction

The Sinhalese Sports Club pitch usually stays balanced through the game. Scores around 160 are common in both innings. Spinners get help as the match goes on, but batting is not too difficult under the lights. 

Dew can also play a small role later. Because of this, the team winning the toss may prefer to chase. Bowling first allows them to assess conditions and plan better in the second innings.

IRE vs OMN Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win Match 22?

Both Ireland and Oman have lost their first two matches, so this game is about pride. Ireland are also more experienced in this sort of cricket, having won against Oman in recent T20 encounters. Their batting also carries more power, especially in the top order. 

Oman will put up a good fight, but Ireland look a little bit stronger altogether. Expect a close match, yet Ireland should have enough quality to secure their first win of the tournament.
