ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023, Match 4, Ireland vs Oman: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Ireland and Oman are set to lock horns in a Group B match of the World Cup 2023 Qualifiers on Monday, June 19. The Bulawayo Athletic Club in Bulawayo will host the contest.
Ireland, led by Andrew Balbirnie, recently faltered in the ODI series at home against Bangladesh, but have a strong squad to make a comeback in the ongoing World Cup Qualifiers.
Harry Tector won the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award in May and a lot will depend on him. Paul Stirling and Balbirnie are stalwarts and need to deliver.
Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker and Tector form a strong middle order. Joshua Little will lead their bowling attack after some spectacular performances for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023.
Oman will depend heavily on their trio of Zeeshan Maqsood, Jatinder Singh and Aqib Ilyas in the batting department. Bilal Khan has been a genuine wicket-taker form them and needs to be on top of his game.
