Oman comes into the contest having shown progress in the T20 format and gaining a morale boost from their recent warm-up victory over Zimbabwe in Colombo, where they successfully chased down a 188-run target with four balls to spare.
Previous trends at the venue have favoured teams chasing a target. Zimbabwe will rely heavily on the form of Brian Bennett and captain Sikandar Raza, who is among the best all-rounders in the world, to accelerate their innings, while Oman depends upon the leadership of Jatinder Singh, along with the support of Hammad Mirza.
As per our ZIM vs OMN Dream11 team prediction, the skipper of both teams, Sikandar Raza and Jatinder Singh, are the perfect choice for captaincy in Dream11 teams as they are the most reliable and consistent players of their respective sides.
