Australia ended their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign on a positive note, crushing Oman by 9 wickets with 62 balls left in a completely one-sided match. Oman showed a few good individual performances during the tournament, but they finished without earning a single point on the table.

Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers finishing with 4/21, Glenn Maxwell also picked up a couple of wickets with only Cameron Green remaining wicketless in his 2 overs.
