Second Consecutive T20 World Cup Appearance
This achievement is especially notable as it follows Nepal’s qualification for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the Caribbean, which ended a decade-long wait. They are now set to make their second consecutive appearance in just two years.
Oman’s Accomplishments
Oman, also an unbeaten team in the qualifiers, will be making their fourth appearance in the T20 World Cup. They previously participated in the editions held in 2016, 2021, and 2024.
