GCC Women’s T20I Championship 2022, Match 1: Oman Women vs Bahrain Women - Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Oman Women will take on Bahrain Women at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 2) in the 1st match of the GCC Women’s T20I Championship 2022.

Oman, led by Vaishali Jesrani, made their debut back during the 2009 ACC Women’s T20 Championship in Malaysia. But it was only in April 2018 that they received WT20I status from the ICC. They played their maiden T20I during a tri-series involving Qatar and Kuwait.

In nine T20Is thus far, they have won three and lost six. Their highest team total is 130 for six against Qatar. It came on January 18, 2020. None of their batters have scored a half-century in WT20Is yet. Sakshi Shetty, who is most likely to open the batting, has top-scored for them with 44 runs.

Oman has beaten Qatar twice in two matches while losing all four of their matches against Germany. Oman has got past Kuwait once and lost two matches. Like Oman, Bahrain also got WT20I status back in April 2018 and will be looking to put in a strong showing.

They will be captained by Tharanga Gajanayake, who’s also an efficient all-round cricketer. They don’t have a whole lot of experience in top-level cricket and will be looking to learn from the tournament.
