Oman have been the surprise package in the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers. The Zeeshan Maqsood-led side beat hosts UAE and Hong Kong comfortably with their bowlers restricting the opponents under 110 runs in both the matches. Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt took three-fers in the first game against UAE, while Aamir Kaleem and Khawar Ali reversed roles and took three-wicket hauls in Oman’s last match against Hong Kong. With the bowlers stepping up, the batsmen have had little to chase and strolled to victory in both the matches.

For Ireland, Paul Stirling have been in sensational form and has hit half-centuries in successive matches. Andrew Balbirnie also chipped in with a well-made 70 from 53 deliveries in the eight-wicket victory over Hong Kong. Star opener and Ireland’s most experienced batsman Kevin O’Brien has, however, struggled and was run-out without playing a ball in the opening game. He made run-a-ball 14 in the five-wicket defeat to UAE.

IRE vs OMN – Dream11 Team Prediction – Wicket-Keepers:

Dream11 allows to pick two wicket-keepers for every squad, with one playing as an added batsmen. But if will be wise to pick only one wicket-keeper. Gary Wilson (IRE) and Suraj Kumar (OMN) are the two wicket-keeper batsmen in the Ireland and Oman teams. Wilson survived only seven deliveries to score four runs against UAE, while Suraj Kumar is yer to bats but he has been brilliant behind the stumps and should be the first and automatic choice.

IRE vs OMN – Dream11 Team Prediction – Batsmen:

You can pick as many as six batsmen for your Dream11 team. For Ireland vs Oman clash, however, four batsmen would be good enough. Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie of Ireland have been in good form in the last two matches and should be the first two choices. Kevin O’Brien has been poor so far but he is too good a batsman to be kept out. Aqib Ilyas will complete the top four. In case, you are looking for more batsmen, Oman’s captain Zeeshan Maqsood and opener Jatinder Singh are the other two in-form batsmen available.

IRE vs OMN – Dream11 Team Prediction: All-rounders:

Oman’s Khawar Ali and Aamir Kaleem should fill the first two-choices for the all-rounder’s slots. A maximum of three-four all-rounders can be picked for each fantasy Dream11 team for the Ireland vs Oman clash. Both Ali and Kaleem have a three-wicket haul in Oman’s previous game and can also be handy with the bat in the lower-order. Gareth Delany (IRE) is another very good choice for the all-rounder’s role, while Ireland’s George Dockrell is another option.

IRE vs OMN – Dream11 Team Prediction: Bowlers:

Again Oman’s Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt took three-fers in their side’s first match. Butt has six wickets from two matches and is leading the wicket-takers list in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers 2019. Ireland duo Mark Adair and Boyd Rankin, who became famous for his strange action, are two other interesting bowling choices.

IRE vs OMN - Dream11 Team Prediction:

Kevin O’Brien (C / IRE), Paul Stirling (IRE), Andrew Balbirnie (IRE), Aqib Ilyas (VC / OMN), Suraj Kumar (OMN), Zeeshan Maqsood (OMN), Aamir Kaleem (OMN), Khawar Ali (OMN), Gareth Delany (IRE), Bilal Khan (OMN) and Fayyaz Butt (OMN).
