Pitch & conditions
The patterns we see repeat across the matches on record — what works at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1), and what captains should plan for.
Across 101 matches at this ground, teams batting second have won roughly 60% of the time. Captains appear to have absorbed that message: 70% of toss winners have opted to field first. Whether that reflects surface deterioration or dew in the Omani evening air, the pattern is consistent enough to shape pre-match thinking.
The average powerplay produces 42 runs for fewer than 2 wickets, which points to a surface that rewards patience rather than early aggression. Sides that build through the six overs without losing the top order tend to have a platform to accelerate in the middle phase, where the average contribution climbs to 75 runs per innings.
An average of just 34 runs in the death overs (overs 16–20) is relatively low for T20 cricket. Slower surfaces and boundary dimensions may contribute, but it also means teams setting totals close to or above the first-innings average of 159 tend to put pressure on the chase late in the innings.
Among the sides with significant match records here, Nepal Cricket win 69% of their 26 games and UAE Cricket win 66% of their 30. Both figures comfortably exceed Oman Cricket's home win rate of 52% across 62 matches, suggesting the ground has not been a fortress for the hosts.
Five batters have passed three figures at this ground, across T20I and ODI cricket. The range of scoring rates, from KJ O'Brien's 124 off 62 balls to Chirag Suri's 115 off 125 balls, reflects how differently the surface can play across formats and match conditions.
