Led by big-hitting all-rounder Mitch Marsh, the squad includes key players like Test captain Pat Cummins, opener David Warner, and pace-attack duo Josh Hazlewood and Mitch Starc.

In recent form, Australia has been dominant, winning four out of their last five games, showcasing a robust preparation and a formidable lineup. Key players to watch out for include Adam Zampa for Australia, who has been a standout performer with his leg-break googly bowling. Travis Head and David Warner are also crucial players for Australia, bringing their explosive batting skills to the table.
On the other hand, Oman’s key players like Aqib Ilyas, Zeeshan Maqsood, and Mehran Khan have been in good form, aiming to challenge Australia’s dominance. With the pitch conditions favoring spin bowlers at Kensington Oval, Barbados, both teams will look to strategize accordingly.
