AUS vs OMN Live Score: Oman captain OUT
20/02/2026 19:29
2nd wicket for Bartlett. He's bowled exceptionally well. 2nd time he's castled a batter. Oman captain Jatinder Singh walks back.
The ball looked to be leaving the batter but after pitching, it came straight. Jatinder was bamboozled as the middle stump pegs back.

Bartlett could've had 2 in the first over but Glenn Maxwell at 2nd slip dropped Karan Sonavale. Kind of highlights Australia's campaign as a whole.

Talk about the perfect start. Wicket off the first ball of the match. A full ball swinging into the left-hander. Aamir Kaleem tries to smash it, but the ball keeps coming in and hits the leg stump.
Australia to come hard at Oman?
20/02/2026 18:46
Before the match, Oman's captain Jatinder Singh had talked about crushing Australia, since they aren't doing well at the moment. Australia will come hard at Oman, making Jatinder repent.
“One hundred per cent, this is an opportunity. T20 is a game of momentum and the moments. If you play those moments right, you can do anything on that particular day. Australia is not doing well at the moment… it is the best time to crush them. The boys are really positive. They are looking forward to the match against Australia to make their mark,” Jatinder had said.

AUS vs OMN Live Score: Australia opt to bowl
20/02/2026 18:33
Mitchell Marsh wins his last toss of the T20 World Cup 2026 and opts to bowl. And surprisingly, Steve Smith hasn't been picked again. He was called in as a backup and doesn't play.
Australia vs Oman: Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
20/02/2026 18:18
The pitch at Pallekele is batter-friendly and supports high-scoring games in T20s, offering good bounce and carry that allows stroke-makers to dominate once set. Recent T20 World Cup matches here have seen totals exceeding 180-200 (e.g., Sri Lanka posted 225 in one fixture). Bowlers need variations, especially spinners in the middle overs, but conditions favour run-scoring. Dew has minimal impact, so the toss isn't decisive. Teams might opt to bat first to post a big total and pressure the opposition. Expect another 180+ contest if batters capitalise.

AUS vs OMN Live Score: What's on the Line
20/02/2026 18:07
Down and out, Australia will have a final opportunity to make amends. They will be favourites against Oman, but that won’t wash out the disappointments of this campaign. For the second time in T20 World history, since 2009, Australia has exited from the group stage.
The Mitchell Marsh-led side was expected to dominate Group B. Instead, they stumbled with defeats to Zimbabwe and co-host Sri Lanka to end Super 8 hopes. Batting collapses and bowling inconsistencies have plagued them. With Cameron Green disappointing everyone with poor returns in bowling, Australia has nowhere to hide. The last match will be an opportunity for players like Steve Smith, who made a return to the T20I squad after two years as an injury replacement.
Oman doesn’t often get the chance to face a quality side like Australia. This will be their opportunity to show the world what they've got. Under Jatinder Singh, Oman has shown grit but lacked the firepower to secure a win, suffering heavy defeats. Jatinder Singh has boldly declared this the "best time to crush" a struggling Australia, but that would require an extraordinary performance from the associate nation.
