T20 World Cup 2026: Oman win toss, opt to bowl first against Ireland

Colombo (Web Desk): In the 20th match of the T20 World Cup, Oman won the toss against Ireland and chose to field first. The match is being played at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo.

Oman captain Jatinder Singh said the decision to bowl first was influenced by the fresh pitch conditions. He added that Oman’s batting performance in the last two matches was below expectations, and the team will focus on improving their batting in this game.

Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker expressed that his team had intended to bat first, but the absence of regular captain Paul Stirling is a significant setback.

Ireland made two changes to their squad for this match, with Tim Tector and Josh Little replacing Paul Stirling and Coltz.
