The 22nd match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will see Ireland take on Oman at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, with the action set to begin at 11:00 AM on February 14.
Ireland have endured a slow start to their campaign, suffering defeats in their opening two fixtures and sitting fourth on the standings without a point. Despite the early setbacks, they will back themselves against Oman, banking on their experience and overall depth.
Meanwhile, Jatinder Singh’s side have mirrored Ireland’s struggles, going down in both their outings so far in the tournament.

The Sinhalese Sports Club ground has staged 10 T20 Internationals, where teams batting second have dominated with six wins, while first-innings sides have succeeded just three times. The surface traditionally suits chasing, and afternoon conditions may further aid slow bowlers.
Key batter to watch out for: Mohammad Nadeem
Mohammad Nadeem could hold the key for Oman in the batting department against Ireland. His fifty in his only outing highlighted his form, and he will be determined to carry that confidence forward. Given his vast experience, Oman’s hopes largely rest on him.
Key bowler to watch out for: George Dockrell
George Dockrell could be Ireland’s go-to option with the ball in the upcoming fixture. He has picked up three wickets in two matches and has been among their standout performers this tournament. His four overs in the middle phase could shape the contest.
Ireland cricket team will start as favourites against Oman cricket team, thanks to their stronger squad and greater experience. While Oman have the potential to compete, Ireland’s depth in both departments gives them the edge. If they execute their plans well, Ireland should have the upper hand, though a collective effort could help Oman keep the contest tight.
Ireland: Paul Stirling (c), Curtis Campher, Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (w), Mark Adair, Benjamin Calitz, Gareth Delany, Barry McCarthy, George Dockrell, Matthew Humphreys
Oman: Aamir Kaleem, Wasim Ali, Mohammad Nadeem, Jatinder Singh (c), Hammad Mirza, Vinayak Shukla (w), Sufyan Mehmood, Shah Faisal, Nadeem Khan, Jiten Ramanandi, Jay Odedra.
