Oman vs West Indies Match Prediction: Oman will go up against West Indies in the Super Sixes match number 7th of ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023 at Harare Sports Club on July 5th, 2023.
Oman and West Indies are already out of World Cup qualification contention, and their next few matches will be just compulsory matches in which either they try to give all or give their new players a chance to play for the country.
Oman lost their last match against the Netherlands by 74 runs under DLS Method, but they were outclassed by the batting of the Netherlands in the whole game and couldn’t find their way to chase down the huge target of 363.
The Netherlands batter thrashed the bowling unit of Oman as the first wicket they got out on 117, and even then, they were not able to take wickets in regular intervals, which is why the Netherlands put in a huge total of 362 which became out of reach for the Oman batters. From the bowling unit, Bilal Khan took 3 wickets, and Mohammad Nadeem took 2 wickets but gave away too many runs in his 4 overs.
Oman did not start off the innings well, as they were 3 down at 78, and then the wicket kept falling at the end. The match ended in a 44th over because of rain, and they lost the match by 72 runs. Ayaan Khan was the only batter who looked in good form as he scored a century.
West Indies are out of the World Cup for the 2nd time in a row, which is quite an embarrassing thing for the players and also for the fans who are once again not going to cheer for their team in the World Cup.
The legendary cricketer Ian Bishop said that it was just a dramatic fall for the two-time world cup winner. Carlos Brathwaite, the legendary player who won the T20 world cup against England by himself in the final, said that he saw it coming because this has been the case for a long time when they are having problems with the white ball format.
West Indies is the team whose players mostly play in a big league for different franchises and show their skills. They are one of the most expensive players in every franchise, but still, they cannot unite their skills for their national team, which is why they are suffering from a huge crisis.
Oman vs West Indies: Head-to-Head ODI Record
Oman and West Indies never played any ODI matches against each other, so there is no head-to-head record between them, but it is going to be a good match as West Indies might give a chance to new players, which can create a good opportunity for the Oman team to dominate them.
West Indies can also go with their full-strength squad and show the world that they still have it and thrash Oman to give their fan something to cheer for.
Pitch Report of Harare Sports Club, Harare, for the 7th match of ICC World Cup Super Six Qualifiers between Oman vs West Indies on July 5th, 2023
| Match Played | 181 matches |
| Batting first won | 85 matches won |
| Batting second won | 92 matches won |
| Average 1st innings scores | 233 Runs |

The Harare Sports Club pitch in the ICC World Cup Qualifiers has been a pitch for batters, which was evident in the most recent match when Zimbabwe scored 408 runs against the USA team. However, after holding so many matches on the same pitch, it is possible that the pitch will be slower than before in the next match, and the total will not be as high as what Zimbabwe posted.
If West Indies are going to bat on this pitch, then it is possible they could score 350+ as the Netherlands did in the last match against Oman, even though it was 48 overs match and there were quite swinging conditions.
Team Preview of Oman
Oman is quite a decent team, and they had quite a nice tournament, but they failed to lift up their performance in important matches. Still, they are in the Super Six playing against some top team which is going to be learning for them.
Oman bowling unit needs to improve their performance because they were not quite up to the mark in the last match against the Netherlands. Their batting top order also needs to perform well in the next match; otherwise, they will not compete with the West Indies bowling unit.
Important players for the Oman Team in the match against the West Indies
1-Kashyap Prajapati once again failed to score big after scoring a century against Zimbabwe in his last match, but in the match against the Netherlands, he failed to convert his decent start into a big score. He got out on just 25 runs in 32 balls. Till now, he scored 219 runs in 6 matches with an average of 36.50, but he does have the potential to score big.
2- Bilal Khan bowled quite well in the last match as he took 3 wickets against the Netherlands side, which makes him the highest wicket. He took 10 wickets in 5 matches and has been a top performer for his side.
3- Ayaan Khan was amazing in the last match as he scored a century and also took one wicket, but it was not enough to give his team victory as no one else supported him. He scored 105 not out in 92 balls. He is the highest run scorer from the Oman side in the ICC World Cup Qualifiers, scoring 285 runs in 6 matches with an average of 57.
Team Preview West Indies
West Indies needs to perform like a champion because they already let down the whole country. Now is the team when they should give their all for the country and give something to cheer for the fans who came to Zimbabwe to support them.
They have a team of superstars who can beat any team in the world, which they did in the past. They won the T20 twice and also the 50-over World Cup twice, but it has been a long time since they won the 50-over World Cup. There have been some issues with the white ball cricket for the west indies, as this will be the 2nd time they will not be in the remaining event of the world cup.
Important players for the West Indies in the match against Oman
1- Shai Hope needs to give his all in the next match because he failed to unite the team as a captain, and he is one of the main reasons why West Indies was not able to qualify because it was he who took the captaincy of the team and it is captain duty to unit the team. He scored 276 runs in 5 matches but did have an amazing record.
2- Nicholas Pooran has been one of the consistent performers for the team and, right now, 2nd highest run scorer in the tournament with 317 runs in 5 matches. He scored 2 centuries, and the amazing part of the West Indies team is they played every game at Harare Sports Club. He is one of the best strikers of the ball in the world of cricket right now.
3- Alzarri Joseph is one of the top talents of West Indies, but his performance has not been up to the mark as he took only 8 wickets in 5 matches which is not something Joseph is known for, but still, he did perform quite better compared to teammates.
