Zimbabwe will be up against Oman in the eighth match of the T20 World Cup 2026. Oman beat Zimbabwe in a warm-up match recently and they have a pretty decent squad and will be led by Jatinder Singh. Oman has some very talented spinners and they will be keen to put up a good show. India-born Vinayak Shukla is a prominent middle-order batsman. He is well aware of conditions in the Indian subcontinent.
While Zimbabwe under the captaincy of Sikandar Raza will be the favourites and they have a formidable line-up with the return of Brendon Taylor and Graeme Cremer. This should be a competitive game between these two sides.
