OMA vs SL 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Sri Lanka’s preparation for the upcoming World Cup commences with the first T20 International against Oman at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) in Oman on Thursday, the 7th of October. Both sides are gearing up for the qualifying stages of the ICC mega event and while Sri Lanka will look to acclimate themselves to the playing conditions, Oman will seek valuable match practice against world class opposition. Here, I have collated the three best T20I series betting tips for you from the OMA vs SL match prediction.

Sri Lanka are scheduled to play two T20Is against Oman on the 7th and 9th of October, in order to prepare themselves for the conditions in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup beginning on October 17th. The Asian nation will have to take part in an eight-team qualifying stage first, where they have been drawn in a pool against Namibia, Ireland and netherlands. The group will follow a single round-robin format to determine the top two teams that will move on to the Super 12 stage of the competition. Participating simultaneously will be Oman, whose pool consists of Scotland, Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea. On paper, Sri Lanka are the favourites to make it out of their pool while Oman have a great chance as well if they can come out on top against rivals Scotland. Nevertheless, the upcoming T20I will give them both an opportunity to experiment and chalk out their game plan to be ready for the big stage. An enthralling fixture awaits and on that note, here are my three best betting tips from the OMA vs SL match prediction.

OMA vs SL Player Bets:

It's practically impossible to gauge áspects such as the boundary hitting prowess of the two teams, due to the vast disparity in the strength of the teams they usually face. Even so, individual talent is more often than note highly reliable regardless of circumstance and after going through all available options, I have found just the perfect tips for you. Here are my carefully selected OMA vs SL team bets.

Jatinder Singh to score over 15.5 runs

The top-order batsman boasts an excellent record in T20Is. In 28 games, Jatinder Singh has racked up 697 runs at a great average of 27.88. His statistics at home are even better, having scored 230 runs in 8 games at a brilliant average of 32.85. The fact that he has played all but one of his games in Asia means that the veteran is very well suited to the conditions that will be on offer. In his last 10 T20Is, Singh has tallied 327 runs at an astounding average of 46.71. His last outing came against Maldives in February last year, where he cruised to 48*(41) to earn his team a victory. In the recently concluded run of 8 ODIs at home in the space of 20 days, the 32-year-old tallied 252 runs at an average of 36. Thus, with a great track record and in impressive form, Jatinder Singh is more than likely to score well in the 1st T20I versus Sri Lanka. You can capitalize on this OMA vs SL player bet at Dafabet who haas offerred odds of 1.87 for Jatinder Singh to score over 15.5 runs.

Dasun Shanaka to fail with the bat

The newly anointed Sri Lankan skipper has struggled big time on the international stage. After 49 matches, he has just accumulated 611 runs in T20Is at a pitiful average of 15.66. The fact that 41 of those matches came in Asia show his inability to play on slow wickets. Away from home, Shanuka’s average remains a sub par 17.67. Since 2019, he has taken to the crease in T20Is 21 times, managing a paltry 282 runs at a scant average of 15.67. His latest outing in the format came in the three-match series versus South Africa, where he aggregated just 44 runs with a high score of 18. In fact, after a fifty in his first game in 2021, the 30-year-old’s average has been a shambolic 11.14 with just four double digit scores and none above the mark of 20. Thus, all factors indicate yet another failure of Dasun Shanaka with the bat in the OMA vs SL head to head encounter. You can take up this player bet tip at Dafabet once they release the odds for the game.

Dinesh Chandimal to score over 24.5 runs

The former skipper has been afforded another chance in the Lanka T20 setup after some brilliant displays. In the Sri Lanka Cricket Invitational T20 earlier this year, Chandimal tallied 183 runs in just six innings at a fantastic average of 36.60. Never really afforded a proper run in the shortest format, Chandimal still averages a handsome 31.5 across 13 innings since the start of 2018. In 2021, the veteran has played five games, aggregating 139 runs at a phenomenal average of 46.33. The best performance of the season came in the latest series against the Proteas, where the 31-year-old hammered a flamboyant unbeaten 66 off just 54 deliveries, lacing his innings with five boundaries and two maximums. With a career T20 average of 30.23 and nearly 9,000 international runs to his name, Dinesh Chandimal is a bonafide world class batsman that has found his rhythm once again. He would be raring to go out there and roll back the years by putting up a big score, a feat that looks almost inevitable. To bet on this OMA vs SL player tip, Dafabet has offerred odds of 1.87 for Dinesh Chandimal to score over 24.5 runs.

Jatinder Singh to over 15.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Dafabet.com)

Dasun Shanaka to fail with the bat

Dinesh Chandimal to score over 24.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Dafabet.com)
