Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to bowl against Oman in their final Group-stage fixture of the T20 World Cup on Friday. With both sides already eliminated from the race for the Super Eight, the contest holds no bearing on qualification.

Australia made one change to their XI, bringing in Matt Renshaw in place of Cooper Connolly. Oman, meanwhile, opted for a shake-up, making four changes to their lineup as they look to end their campaign on a positive note.
