Opener Khawar Ali has underwhelmed in both matches but his status as one of their best helps him retain his spot for the next match as well. Khurram Khan and Naseem were at their best as they helped Oman overcome a difficult situation in the first innings.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Naseem Khushi went ballistic towards the end with a vital cameo but considering Matt Cross' superior batting ability, the Scottish keeper should get nod for the wicket-keeper spot. He is due for a big one batting at number three and could come off big time on Sunday.

Batsmen: Two of Calum McLeod, George Munsey and captain Kyle Coetzer are great picks for the fantasy side considering the good pitch on offer. Along with the trio, in form batsmen, Jatinder Singh and Khurram Khan are also in the reckoning although Khawar Ali could also slot in for either of them.

All-rounders: Richie Berrington and Ajay Lalcheta provide the complete package with some tight overs and boundaries with the bat in hand. Both of them are invaluable to their respective teams and should be backed to put in a good performance in the last match of the series.

Bowlers: Safyaan Sharif and Bilal Khan are must haves in the side for obvious reasons. Along with them, the likes of Mark Watt, Mohammad Nadeem and Jay Odedra are great options to have in the side.

Captain: Kyle Coetzer and Matt Cross are the front-runners for captaincy while the likes of Ajay Lalcheta and Richie Berrington also provide ample options to choose from if required.
