Jos Buttler To Replace Out Of Form Jonny Bairstow? ENG's Probable XI For T20 WC Clash Vs Oman
England team in action in T20 World Cup [X]
The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 moves to a crucial juncture of the group stage where the defending champions, on June 13, England will play to survive another day in the tournament to have a chance to make it to the Super Eights while Oman will be playing for their pride in their final game.
England's dismal T20 WC journey so far
England who have not had a win under their belt yet have just a solitary point on the board after the washed-out match against Scotland will look to win and win big to keep their net run rate under check to stand a chance to qualify.
In the last game played at the North Sound, Antigua, the Aussies ripped apart the Namibians by chasing down the total in just 5.4 overs after bowling them out at 72. Seeing how Adam Zampa bowled on the Antigua surface, England would want to continue with Adil Rashid and part-timers Liam Livingstone and plan to replicate something similar.
While the top-order picks themselves, England would want their out of form number 4, Jonny Bairstow to use his experience and come good in this crucial game. Another point of discussion will be playing Reece Topley over Mark Wood to have that left-handed pacer in the attack upfront.
England's Probable Playing XI v Oman:
Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley.
