The fixture is to be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in UAE from 3:30 PM IST today. I have assorted three of the best betting tips for you from the PNG vs OMN head-to-head encounter.

The competition has progressed to the 78th match with the points table arranged according to that. Since the start of the competition in 2019, the two sides have had their fair share of matches. Papua New Guinea are languishing at the foot of the league 2 table and have only managed to win one from 19 games while losing the remaining 18. They will be colliding with Oman who are placed atop the ladder. The league leaders have been a part of 31 games in total and have 38 points under their belt. They have won 18, lost 11 and received a point each from the remaining two games. PNG will clearly be the underdogs for this game and would aim to get something positive out of this. While we get ready for this forthcoming clash, let us have a look at the top betting tips from the PNG vs OMN match prediction.

PNG vs OMN Team Bets:

After a careful analysis of the past datas and stats, I have handpicked the following team betting tips from the PNG vs OMN match prediction.

Oman clear favourites

As it currently stands, Oman are perched atop the league 2 table and there is no team currently to challenge their position. Oman have played the most number of matches in league 2 thus far and have made the perfect use of it. They have secured 18 victories from 31 matches and have lost on 11 different occasions. One of their matches against UAE ended in a draw while the other one was abandoned. Oman have 38 points besides their name at the moment with a net run rate of +0.102. PNG on the contrary are reeling at the bottom of the table and have only managed to register their maiden victory this season thus far. Earlier this week, the two sides met each other wherein Oman registered a comfortable 7 wicket win with 35 balls to spare. Jatinder Singh unbeaten 118 was the pillar of Oman’s run chase along with skipper Khawar Ali who played well for his unbeaten 57 run knock. If we have a look at their last five meetings, Oman have won all of them by big margins. Oman have never lost a limited overs match against Papua New Guinea and would aim to keep this record intact in the upcoming clash as well. Pari Match has offered odds of 1.21 in Oman’s favour from the PNG vs OMN match prediction.

Oman to score over 28.5 runs before 1st dismissal

Oman are stationed at the top of the ladder in league 2 at the moment and the credit partly goes to their openers - Jatinder Singh and Kashyap Prajapati. The two have been the regular pair to open the innings for the associate nation and they have done the job perfectly thus far. In the last five matches, the duo have combined to score 205 runs for the opening wicket. This takes their average to 41.00 per game which is surely above our target for today. This makes it the perfect betting tip to place all your bucks in. Their scores in the last five matches for the opening wicket read 17, 2, 35, 57 and 94.

Speaking of the other opener, Jatinder Singh, is the leading run-getter in league 2 at the moment.
