Australia and Oman will face each other in match 40 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at Pallekele Cricket Stadium in Pallekele today in a battle of pride. Both Australia and Oman have been eliminated and will look to finish their campaign on a high.
Australia team news
Australia head into their final group game looking to salvage pride after a disappointing campaign that ended their Super Eights hopes. Injuries to key pacers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc disrupted their balance, while inconsistent batting and selection calls added to the struggles.
Mitchell Marsh is expected to continue leading a side that still boasts firepower through Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell and Tim David. Despite the early exit, the match offers an opportunity for fringe players to impress ahead of a planned review of the tournament. Australia will aim to finish strongly before shifting focus towards rebuilding for future ICC events.
Oman team news
Oman enter the contest seeking their first win of the tournament after suffering heavy defeats in all three group matches. Captain Jatinder Singh will rely on experienced players such as Aamir Kaleem and Sufyan Mehmood to deliver a competitive performance against a strong Australian line-up.
The batting unit has struggled for consistency, but the team will look to play with freedom in what is their final outing. Bowlers like Shakeel Ahmed and Mohammad Nadeem are expected to shoulder responsibility as Oman aim to end their campaign on a positive note and gain valuable experience against a top-tier side.
