Sport

Sri Lanka Men’s Twenty20 team will leave for Oman on October 3 to take part in two T20 games against Oman, ahead of its participation in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, which will be played in UAE and Oman from October 17 to November 14.

The two games to be played on October 7 and 9, will provide the Sri Lanka team more preparation ground for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Following the two games against Oman, Sri Lanka will play in two ICC-organised World Cup warm-up games, on October 12 and 14, before commencing its T20 World Cup campaign.

"We are looking to play many games as possible leading into the World Cup in similar conditions the team will experience in the UAE. The games against Oman and the two ICC practice games will allow us this opportunity," said Ashley de Silva, the CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket.
 
Sri Lanka will start its T20 World Cup campaign, playing against Namibia, on October 18, at the Sheik Al-Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, and will play Ireland at the same venue on October 20.  

The game against the Netherlands will be played on October 22 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, completing their Group 'A' qualifier matches.

In Group 'B' of Round 1 Bangladesh, Scotland, Oman, and Papua New Guinea will compete for the four slots of the main championship, the Super 12s.
