Oman vs Afghanistan A, 1st One Day: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

Oman and Afghanistan A will lock horns in the first One Day of the two-match series on October 12, Thursday. Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1) will host this encounter.

The Oman team will be led by Zeeshan Maqsood, who is making his comeback after an injury break. They have a power-packed line-up in all three departments and would be determined to make amends right from the first game of the limited-over series.

This series will be an ideal platform for Oman cricketers moving into the ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier in Nepal later this month. Factually speaking, this will be the first time Oman will be hosting any Afghanistan side.

On the other hand, Afghanistan A will be led by Shahidullah Kamal. He led the Afghan Abdalyan side at the recently concluded ACC Men’s Emerging Asia Cup 2023.

Noor Ali Zadran is one of the players to watch out for as he is coming into this tour after a successful Asian Games campaign. Rahmanullah Zadran, Asif Musazai, and Noman Shah have received their maiden call-ups to the Afghanistan A side.
