Oman won the toss and elected to bat in their crucial T20 World Cup Group B clash against Scotland in Antigua on Sunday.


Scotland are currently second in the group standings behind Australia, following a victory over Namibia in their second match which came after their opener against England was washed out.


A Scottish victory on Sunday over an Oman team still seeking their first win of the tournament would pile the pressure on England, who are without a win from two matches.


Oman skipper Aqib Ilyas meanwhile said his decision to bat first on Sunday was designed to put pressure on Scotland.


"We want to set a decent target and put the opposition under pressure," Aqib said.
