Oman's performance in the marquee event has been below par so far, as they are coming off a two-match losing streak. In their opening game against Namibia, they were part of a thrilling Super Over contest, which they eventually lost. In their last fixture against the mighty Australians, the Aqib Ilyas-led side fell 39 runs short of the target and in due course suffered their second defeat. The upcoming game is a do-or-die situation for them to still be in contention for the Super Eight.
On the other hand, Richie Berrington's Scotland are coming off an emphatic win over Namibia in their second game. After their first game got washed out against England, the Scottish side came back strong and registered a five-wicket victory.

Pitch report
The pitch of the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium offers an even contest between batters and bowlers. However, it tends to favour the batters, particularly in this form. As the game progresses, the pitch also provides support to spin bowlers. The outfield is well-maintained and typically fast, facilitating quick scoring opportunities for batsmen and allowing for exciting fielding displays. This surface will host its first match of the marquee event. The team that wins the toss will opt to field first.
