IRE vs OMAN Today Match Prediction

Win Probability : Ireland 65% | Oman 35%

Ireland starts as clear favorites. Even without Paul Stirling, their bowling attack (Josh Little, Mark Adair) and middle-order depth give them the edge. They’ve won the last three meetings and know how to handle spin-friendly tracks like SSC Colombo.

Oman has struggled to cross 120 runs in this tournament. They need a miracle powerplay and big knocks from Nadeem or Jatinder Singh to compete. But Ireland’s experience and better all-round balance make them very hard to beat.

This IRE vs OMAN Today Match Prediction looks like a comfortable Ireland win if they bowl first and take early wickets. But T20 cricket loves shocks—if Oman bats first and posts 160+, they can put pressure on.
