What was the result of Australia's final group league fixture against Oman in the T20 World Cup at Pallekele?
Australia won by nine wickets, completing the chase in 9.4 oversIn their inconsequential final group match at Pallekele, Australia concluded their wretched campaign with a dominant nine-wicket victory over Oman. After bowling out Oman for 104 in 16.2 overs, with Adam Zampa taking 4/21, Australia's chase was led by Mitchell Marsh's unbeaten 64 off 33 balls and Travis Head's 32 off 19 deliveries. Their 93-run partnership helped complete the target in just 9.4 overs, marking the joint fastest chase in tournament history for a total exceeding 100. Despite this win, Australia had already exited the Super 8s contention after earlier losses to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. The performance, though dominant, could not mask what has been a disappointing campaign for the defending champions.
