Oman will look to surprise Zimbabwe as the teams start their Group B campaign on a high in their match on Monday in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. This match in Colombo between the Chevrons and Oman comes with our prediction of Brian Bennett over 22.5 runs.
Zimbabwe are back in the tournament mix after missing the 2024 edition. Oman are playing in their fourth T20 World Cup campaign and a second in a row.
Zimbabwe are back at any World Cup after 2022, having failed to qualify for the 2023 ODI edition and also the 2024 T20I edition. Their preparation hasn’t been good either, losing to Oman in the practice match and being beaten in six of their last seven T20Is.
Brian Bennett is the man to watch out for, having stroked at 145.48 in T20Is. Sikandar Raza and the returning veterans Brendan Taylor and Graeme Cremer provide teeth to the Africans.
Oman are giving themselves a fantastic chance by playing a series of practice matches in Sri Lanka. With head coach Duleep Mendis adding a wealth of experience of local conditions, they may look to surprise a few.
Aamir Kaleem scored a fifty against India in last year’s Asia Cup, while Nadeem Khan and Jatinder Singh are other key players as they look to make a splash.

Our Zimbabwe vs Oman Prediction
Oman will be looking to upset Zimbabwe, having already done so in the warm-up match just before the main tournament began. It was Jatinder Singh’s 55 off 33 balls that led the show, and Zimbabwe will be looking to take revenge at the first time of asking. Zimbabwe also haven’t played any cricket for the last two months. Losing all four matches in the previous tri-series is a worry, but Brian Bennett’s form is a positive.
Bennett was the leading run-scorer in the African region qualifiers, and our Zimbabwe vs Oman prediction is Brian Bennett over 22.5 runs.
