AUS vs OMN Match Prediction
Australia never got off to a good start in the tournament. They opened with a resounding 67-run win over Ireland, but couldn't maintain their momentum, losing to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Then rain sealed their fate, as rain elsewhere also confirmed their early exits. It was disappointing for the former champions, who struggled with both bat and ball.
Oman also had a difficult campaign. Defeats to Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and Ireland left them at the bottom of the table. As they prepare for a final match, both teams will aim to end on a positive note.
