Pitch Report

The first T20I between Oman and Namibia is set to take place at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1). It is known to assist both batters and bowlers. The wicket is usually slow, and the batters need to farm strike and convert singles to doubles. Bowlers need to be accurate in their lines and lengths. Given it is an afternoon game, batting first would be the best option, as the pitch could get slower with the progression of the match.
