The first ball in this crucial Group B fixture is moments away but before that, the match officials and the two sets of players will line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Oman's first followed by the national anthem of Sri Lanka.

Zeeshan Maqsood, the captain of Oman, says that batting first wouldn't make a lot of difference as it's just the first few overs they need to negotiate. He adds that people back in the country are happy and they are backing them. Informs that they are playing with the same team.

Dasun Shanaka, the skipper of Sri Lanka, says they will bowl first because of the overcast conditions. He adds that they are a confident side but they can not take Oman lightly. They are going in with the same squad.

Oman (Unchanged Playing XI) - Kashyap Prajapati, Jatinder Singh, Aqib Ilyas, Shoaib Khan, Zeeshan Maqsood (C), Mohammad Nadeem, Ayaan Khan, Naseem Khushi (WK), Jay Odedra, Fayyaz Butt, Bilal Khan.

Sri Lanka (Unchanged Playing XI) - Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (WK), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka (C), Dhananjaya de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara.

TOSS - The coin toss lands in the favour of Sri Lanka and they have opted to BOWL first.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka also started their campaign on an expected high, as they thumped UAE by a massive margin of 175 runs. Everyone contributed for the Islanders in the first game. Wanindu Hasaranga was a standout as he took six wickets and ripped apart the UAE's batting lineup. Skipper Dasun Shanaka would be counting on his batters and the bowlers to put up an impressive effort in this game as well. Can the Islanders dethrone Oman from the top of the table, or will Oman keep up to their reputation as giant killers? Let's see as the toss and team updates follow.

Oman is on an all-time high after inflicting defeats on a full-member nation in Ireland and the UAE in their opening two fixtures. Oman has bowled superbly so far and has restricted two solid batting lineups for a below-par score on these batting paradises in Zimbabwe. Oman is well placed on top of the tree in group B and would be looking to seal a spot in the next stage with a victory today.

Hello and welcome to all our viewers! We are all set to face a thrilling encounter as high-flying Oman faces the Asian giants in Sri Lanka at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, in match no. 11 of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers.

...MATCH DAY...

The group stages of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023 are at a crucial stage now and the Super Six are starting to take shape. In Match 11, a strong Sri Lankan side will take on a resilient Oman team that has already shown its quality in the tournament. Oman have played two matches and won them quite comfortably with both batting and bowling. Their bowlers have been excellent as Fayyaz Butt and Bilal Khan are their frontline pacers who get those early breakthroughs while Jay Odedra and skipper Zeeshan Maqsood handle the spin department well. Their batters are also in good touch as Shoaib Khan, Aqib Ilyas, Jatinder Singh, and Kashyap Prajapati ​​​​​​ have all got runs under their belt and although they were tested in the last game, they didn't give in under the pressure and emerged victorious. They will surely back themselves to cause a huge upset here. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had a good break after destroying the UAE in their first game. They have probably the strongest side and will hope to get back where they belong. They have Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka at the top while Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, and Sadeera Samarawickrama who scored an excellent fifty in the last game make up a solid middle order. Their spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana can get through any batting order and the former showed his class with a six-wicket haul against UAE. Dushmantha Chameera, Kasun Rajitha, and Lahiru Kumara are their fast bowlers who will be a real threat to Oman batters along with young Matheesha Pathirana, who is still settling into this format. They would hope to make it two wins in a row and avoid any scares. Let's see who comes out on top.
