The Al Amerat Cricket ground has a dependable pitch for both batters and bowlers.

In 2020, Oman had won all the matches that were played against them in their home ground. What will be their destiny this time around? Will the pitch support the players in winning the game? Will Oman shine after their hiatus since 2020?
