Australia will take the field for their final group-stage game against Oman on February 20, hoping to end their campaign on a high note after a turbulent T20 World Cup so far. The 40th match of Group C will be played at the picturesque Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, starting at 7 PM IST.After a challenging tournament, the defending champions face Oman in what promises to be a final chance to regain pride. While Australia’s campaign has been far from the expectations of a favourites tag, Mitchell Marsh and co. will aim for a consolatory win to finish the group stage on a positive note. Oman, meanwhile, will be eager to make a statement despite their 0-for-3 record, testing the Australian side that has struggled to find consistency.
Weather update: Thunderstorms are predicted about an hour into the match, but if rain stays away, conditions should favour high scoring. The only other 7 PM fixture at Pallekele saw Australia post 181, with Sri Lanka chasing it down with two overs to spare, hinting at an exciting contest.Streaming and broadcast: Fans can watch live streaming on JioStar or catch the action on the Star Sports Network.Squads:Oman Squad: Aamir Kaleem, Jatinder Singh(c), Ashish Odedara, Hammad Mirza, Vinayak Shukla(w), Mohammad Nadeem, Jiten Ramanandi, Nadeem Khan, Sufyan Mehmood, Shakeel Ahmed, Shah Faisal, Shafiq Jan, Karan Sonavale, Jay Odedra, Wasim AliAustralia Squad: Mitchell Marsh(c), Travis Head, Cameron Green, Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis(w), Marcus Stoinis, Cooper Connolly, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Ben Dwarshuis, Matt Renshaw, Matthew Kuhnemann, Steven Smith
