Zimbabwe vs Oman live streaming: Where to watch T20 WC 2026 match?
Zimbabwe and Oman will take on each other for the first time in the T20I format today in Colombo
Zimbabwe produced a dominant bowling display in Match 8 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at Colombo on Monday, skittling Oman for a modest 103. After opting to bowl first, Zimbabwe’s pace attack struck early and never allowed Oman to settle, leaving themselves a straightforward chase of 104 to begin their campaign on a winning note.
Early strikes leave Oman reeling
Oman’s innings went off the rails almost immediately. Blessing Muzarabani removed Jatinder Singh in the second over before Richard Ngarava dismissed Hamman Mirza in the next. Muzarabani then returned to account for Aamir Kaleem and Karan Sonavala, reducing Oman to a precarious position inside the powerplay. Sikandar Raza added to the misery by dismissing Wasim Ali, leaving Oman five down for just 27.
Brief resistance in the middle
Vinayak Shukla offered some resistance with a brisk 28, helping Oman cross the 50-run mark. However, Ngarava ended his stay and quickly followed it up with the wicket of Jiten Ramanandi, ensuring Zimbabwe stayed firmly on top.
Evans finishes the job
Brad Evans cleaned up the lower order, removing Sufyan Mahmood and Shakeel Ahmed. Nadeem Khan chipped in with a fighting 20 to push Oman past 100, but the innings soon ended, with Oman bowled out for 103.

The coin flip for the match went in Zimbabwe's way who opted to bowl first. Captain's take after toss: Sikandar Raza (ZIM): We're going to have a bowl first. We looked at the wicket as well, and it looked like there's early movement as well, and with the wind going on as well, I think the wicket is gonna look to get better from what I can see. Give our seamers the best chance to make the ball talk. Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka share a very good relation, so they were very kind enough to allow us to come a week before, and we were in Hambantota for a week. And then we have been here for five odd days as well. So certainly those 10-12 days have certainly helped us in to prepare. And adjust to the conditions, and we couldn't wait to get the show on the road. Hopefully this is the start of many good performances coming from Zimbabwe. Jatinder Singh (OMN): Absolutely. It’s a good surface, and it definitely settled down a bit in the second innings. The preparation has been excellent. We arrived in Sri Lanka quite early and had a really strong build-up. We played a couple of games, and since the conditions here are very different, it was important for us to get used to them. It’s also much more humid compared to Oman, so overall the preparation has been spot on. Based on the wicket, I think around 160 to 165 would be ideal. Anything in that range should be competitive.
