The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 continues with Ireland (IRE) taking on Oman (OMN). Both teams will lock horns in game 22 of the tournament at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo, on Saturday, February 14. 

Ireland has started the season on a poor note, losing two consecutive matches, and is currently placed fourth on the points table, and has yet to open their account. However, the Irish team will be confident taking on the Oman team, considering their experience and team strength.  

On the other hand, the Jatinder Singh-led team has also had a similar campaign, having lost both their games played so far.

IRE vs OMN Head-to-Head Record in T20s

IRE vs OMN Predicted Playing XIs Ireland (IRE):

Paul Stirling(c), Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker(w), Curtis Campher, Benjamin Calitz, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Matthew Humphreys

Aamir Kaleem, Jatinder Singh(c), Hammad Mirza, Wasim Ali, Mohammad Nadeem, Jiten Ramanandi, Vinayak Shukla(w), Sufyan Mehmood, Nadeem Khan, Shah Faisal, Jay Odedra

Oman's Mohammad Nadeem could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Ireland. Having played just one game, Nadeem scored a fifty and will be hopeful to get more runs off his bat. Nadeem is one of their most experienced players, and a lot will rely on him.

George Dockrell could be the bowler to watch out for in the upcoming game. The 33-year-old in two games has bagged three wickets and has been one of the best bowlers for the team in this competition. His four-over spell will be crucial for the team, and he will be hoping to pick wickets at regular intervals.
