Familiar foes are facing of on the biggest stage for the first time. Both Namibia and Oman are back for their third World Cup in four editions but were drawn in opposite groups at the sole previous tournament they both qualified for and indeed their paths have crossed surprisingly rarely in the shorter format at all despite being well-acquainted as ODI opponents.

Prior to the five-match bilateral series the two sides contested at Muscat in April the pair had only met thrice in T20s each time at a T20 World Cup Qualifier. Though Namibia won that recent series 3-2 it's fair to say Oman profited more from it. While the scoreline likely cost Namibia their shot at direct 2026 qualification through the rankings.

The series saw Oman land upon what appears to be a winning solution to their opening conundrum Nasseem Kushi finding a new lease of life promoted up the order. Namibia nonetheless came out on top in that sea-saw series which also illustrated some themes which might return in today's match. Most notable is Oman's reliance on quick runs in the powerplay especially with Kushi promoted to open and the indispensability of their in-form skipper Aaqib Ilyas.

Though Namibia have aggressive ball-strikers up top too in Nico Davin and JP Kotze they also have greater reserves of late hitting power in David Wiese and JJ Smit which allows them to consolidate and then capitalise at the death. Both teams will look at this game as a must-win if they're to have any hope of staging an improbable break-out from Group B with matches against Scotland England and Australia to come the going's unlikely to get easier as the group progresses.
