The United Arab Emirates take on Oman in Match 145 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2, 2023-27, on November 4 at the ICC Academy in Dubai.

Preview coverage of the UAE vs Oman encounter has framed the game with predictions, a form guide, key players and expected scores, and Cricket World’s match page lists the date as November 4th.

A 42-run Asia Cup win

The most recent completed game between the sides came in Match 7 of the Asia Cup 2025 on Monday, September 15, when the UAE defeated Oman by 42 runs. It was the UAE’s first points of the Asia Cup 2025 campaign. Both openers passed fifty as the UAE compiled 172/5, and the win knocked Oman out of the tournament while securing India’s place in the Super 4s. Muhammad Waseem’s 69 made him the fourth fastest batter to reach 3,000 T20I runs. NDTV Sports published an over-by-over comparison of the match’s wickets and runs for fans following the game.

The series that ended in a tie

The sides’ previous ODI series in the same League 2 competition concluded with a dramatic tie, leaving UAE and Oman sharing the honours as the series drew to a close. In the UAE’s final match of that series against Oman, Kashif Daud’s rearguard half-century came close but fell just short, the hosts staying unbeaten while missing the 3-0 sweep they had sought. The ICC carries match highlights of the UAE’s League 2 wins over Oman on its official channel.

A last-ball thriller and a 2-1 comeback

The Rising Stars edition of the Asia Cup 2025 belonged to Oman. With four runs needed off the last over, Muhammad Arfan claimed two key wickets in a near-miraculous final over as Oman edged out the UAE in a nail-biting contest that went down to the last ball. A preview of the senior Asia Cup tie noted the last five meetings between these sides have been fairly even. The football record is just as tight. In the AFC World Cup qualifiers heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the UAE came from behind to beat Oman 2-1, with late goals from Marcos Miloni and Caio Lucas arriving after key tactical substitutions. The win moved the UAE to the top of Group A and edged them closer to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
