Ireland's T20WC Hopes Hang by a Thread, Skipper Stirling Key Against Oman

• Ireland faces Oman in a crucial T20 World Cup match after two consecutive defeats, needing a win to keep slim Super Eight hopes alive.
• Both teams are winless in Group B, making this a desperate battle for their first victory in the tournament.
• Ireland, with more big-tournament experience, is favored but needs key players like Paul Stirling, Ross Adair, and Harry Tector to perform with the bat.
• Oman, despite struggles, aims for an upset, having nothing to lose and a history of defeating Ireland in 2016.
• Ireland holds a significant head-to-head advantage, winning four of their last five encounters against Oman.
