It’s a basement battle in Group B of the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup as Ireland and Oman look to steer clear of finishing with the wooden spoon. This match between the fourth-placed Irish and the fifth-placed Arabs comes with our prediction of Ireland hitting the most match 6s.
Both teams have zero points after two matches each, losing both their games. Ireland are slightly above Oman, thanks to a relatively better net run rate.
Ireland lost to Sri Lanka by 20 runs in their first match in Colombo, where they had moments to trouble the co-hosts. In their second match against Australia, the Europeans were blown away in a 67-run loss, even missing out on playing the last 19 deliveries.
No batsman has impressed from the Ireland team so far, with only two batters scoring 40s and no one aggregating more than George Dockrell’s 50 in the tournament. Among the bowlers, Dockrell and Mark Adair have three wickets each.
Oman had two chastening defeats in their two games so far, struggling to rise to the World Cup level. Zimbabwe beat them by eight wickets with 39 balls to spare, while Sri Lanka blazed them away in a 105-run defeat in Pallekele.
The struggles are evident individually too, with no Oman batter aggregating more than 30 and only six wickets shared by three bowlers.

Our Ireland vs Oman Prediction
Having started the tournament with back-to-back losses, Ireland and Oman are set to finish in the bottom two spots of the group. In that context, there’s enough incentive to finish above the other with a win. Ireland have a greater pedigree than Oman in international competitions and have won their last three T20Is in head-to-heads. That still doesn’t rule out the Arabs, although the Europeans could edge them.
There’s not much value in backing Ireland in the win stakes, but the sixes market could give good returns, so our Ireland vs Oman prediction is Ireland most match 6s.
