Ireland will face Oman in Match 22 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday, February 14, at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo. Both teams have lost their opening two games and will be eager to record their first victory in the tournament.

Ireland have had a poor start to the tournament, losing to Sri Lanka and then being thrashed by Australia. In their last game, they were bowled out for just 115 while chasing 183. George Dockrell was the only batter who showed some fight with a quick 41 runs. Ireland will need a better effort from their top order if they want to turn things around.

Oman have also found it difficult in this competition. They lost to Zimbabwe in their opener and then went down heavily against Sri Lanka. Chasing a big total in the previous match, they managed only 120 for nine wickets. Mohammad Nadeem scored a fighting half-century, while Jiten Ramanandi was the only bowler who made an impact. Oman will need improvement in both batting and bowling departments.
