England will play in a do-or-die clash against Oman in the 28th match of the T20 World Cup 2024. The match will be played at the Sir Vivan Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
The English campaign in this World Cup is in a precarious situation. Their qualification into the Super Eights is in danger after they lost a game and the other match washed out.
On the other hand, Oman have lost all three of their games and are already out of the tournament. The result of this match will not bear much significance to their campaign in the tournament. However, they will try to pull off and get upset before walking out of the World Cup.
Team Previews
England
England's first match of the tournament against Scotland was washed out, and it was followed by a crushing defeat against Australia by 36 runs. Thus, with only two games remaining in their group stage, England are yet to pick up a point.
The Jos Buttler-led side is in a situation where they will have to win their games against Oman and Namibia by significant margins and then wait for a few other results to go their way. Considering their show in the previous two games, England will be looking to significantly improve their bowling. The defending champions need to turn their campaign around soon to keep themselves alive in the tournament.
Oman
Oman have lost all three of their games so far and are already out of the tournament. Though they have played decent cricket in parts, Oman have not posed a significant threat to their opponents in the tournament. They have been the worst catching side in the tournament, and that has gone a long way to hurt them in this campaign. The Asian side will be looking to enjoy their last outing in the tournament and bow out of the tournament with their heads held high.

ENG vs OMN: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua
The pitch at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will be a competitive surface. It will provide something for both spinners and pacers. However, the bounce on the wicket has been even, and if a batter adjusts quickly to the conditions, he can score runs at a good rate.
