In the 20th match of Oman D20 2021, Amerat Royals and Azaiba XI will lock horns at Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Oman Cricket, Ministry Turf 1 on December 30, Thursday.

Amerat Royals are currently in fifth position in the points table after registering two wins and two defeats, bagging four points. As the tournament slowly moves to the business end, the Royals will be keen to book a Super Four spot.

The Twinkal Bhandari-led Royals side have a good blend of young and experienced cricketers on their side, but they need to put up some collective performances to stay in the reckoning for Super Four.

On the other hand, Azaiba XI are having a disastrous tournament and are current wooden spoon holders with just one win and three defeats in the four matches. Though they are already out of the tournament, they would be aiming to spoil other teams’ parties going into their remaining encounters.
