T20 World Cup 2021, Warm-Up Match 4: Oman vs Namibia probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

Aqib Ilyas in action for Oman at the Desert T20 Challenge

In an ICC T20 World Cup 2021 warm-up match on Tuesday, Oman will lock horns against Namibia at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.

Oman recently featured in a two-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, where they endured a whitewash. They need to produce a much better performance in their warm-up fixtures ahead of the Qualifiers.

Aqib Ilyas was good with the bat for them. He scored 63 runs in two games, but Oman's other batters couldn't step up. They need to contribute heavily with the bat in the upcoming games. Their bowlers, too, didn't have the best of times, as they failed to pick up wickets regularly. Everyone needs to put up solid performances to help the team prepare for the showpiece event.

Namibia, meanwhile, have been fabulous in their last few games. They were unbeaten in the recently concluded UAE Summer T20 Bash, and will now look to continue their winning momentum.

Craig Williams was brilliant with the bat for them, finishing as the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 164 runs in three games. He averaged an impressive 54.67, and will now look to continue his rich form. Jan Frylinck, meanwhile, was fabulous with the ball, picking up nine wickets in three games. Namibia seem to have found the right combination, and will look to be at their best in the warm-up games ahead of the T20 World Cup.
