Barbados' Kensington Oval will play host to this match, and people diligently watching the T20 World Cup knows that this may set off warning bells; only one day prior, the England vs Scotland match on this pitch was called off due to rain.

Australia are the second-seeded T20 team in the world according to the ICC, and won the tournament in 2021. They were also the hosts of the last iteration but left the tournament in the Super 12 stage. They're considered one to watch in the 2024 World Cup.

Facing off Australia is Oman, which is playing in its third T20 World Cup tournament after leaving at the group stage in 2016 and 2021. They've already played one match in this year's tournament, losing to Namibia in the Super Over in a close match, and still have yet to face Scotland and England in the group stage.

Bookies are overwhelmingly preferring Australia as the victors for the match but it still is worth a watch to see one of the world's best teams play. So here's how to watch Australia vs Oman in the T20 Cricket World Cup.
