T20 WC: Zimbabwe Choose To Bowl Against Oman In Campaign Opener
Sinhalese Sports Club Ground: Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Oman in their Group B clash of the 2026 T20 World Cup at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground (SSC) in Colombo on Monday.
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza said, "We're going to have a bowl first. We looked at the wicket as well, and it looked like there's early movement as well, and with the wind going on as well, I think the wicket is going to look to get better from what I can see. Give our seamers the best chance to make the ball talk."
"Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka share a very good relationship, so they were very kind enough to allow us to come a week before, and we were in Hambantota for a week. And then we have been here for five odd days as well. So certainly those 10-12 days have certainly helped us to prepare. And adjust to the conditions, and we couldn't wait to get the show on the road," he added.
