The third match of the Oman Quadrangular T20I Series sees Oman lock horns with Ireland at Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1).
Oman suffered a loss to Nepal in their opening game of the competition. After being asked to bat first, the hosts only managed to score 135 in their 20 overs, losing six wickets.
The bowlers picked up early wickets but failed to create further in-roads. Nepal chased down the total with three balls to spare. Oman need to be at their absolute best to bounce back in the competition.
Ireland, meanwhile, were scheduled to face the UAE in their opening game but it was postponed. Now they will play their first game of the tournament against Oman on Saturday. The Irish side have some exciting players in their ranks and will be looking to get their campaign underway with a win.
The Irish side caused an upset in the ODI series during their tour of the West Indies last month. They will be riding high with confidence after that series win and will look to perform in a similar way in the Oman Quadrangular T20I Series.
