AUS vs OMN Dream11 Prediction: Australia are set to kick-off their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with the match against Oman. This Group B encounter is scheduled for a 06:00 AM (IST) start on Thursday, June 6 at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
England, Scotland, and Namibia are the other three teams in the group. Namibia currently leads the group with 2 points, having won their opening game against Oman. England and Scotland are tied with one point each, occupying the 2nd and 3rd positions, respectively, due to their washed-out match.
Australia is the firm favorite to win this encounter against Oman. In fact, this game is likely to be a one-sided affair given the substantial difference in the profiles of both teams. However, expect the Aussies to bring 100% intensity as they aim to kick-start their campaign in the grandest manner possible.
