The team, led by Aqib Ilyas, is feeling confident and proud after their 2-1 win in the T20I series against Papua New Guinea.

Namibia, on the other hand, currently placed 13th in the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings is desperately seeking a moment of shine as they faced defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in the summit clash of the African Games 2023. The team will be captained by Gerhard Erasmus in the 5-match T20I series against Oman.
Oman and Namibia have faced each other three times in the T20I series in the past, with the hosts managing to win only once. However, the visitors have won the last two matches.
