During his team’s continuing T20 World Cup 2024 match against Oman (OMA) in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Thursday, June 6, seasoned Australia (AUS) opener David Warner provided spectators with a moment of comedy of errors. Notably, following his ejection, Warner strolled back to the pavilion in what ended up being a hilariously dumb moment. Instead of going to the room designated for Australia, he ultimately ended up going towards Oman’s changing room.
As a result, this made the pundits on the radio and the game’s spectators quite happy. But Oman immediately saw his funny error and veered towards the Australian locker room before Warner could surge into his side. Regarding the southpaw’s hitting, David Warner contributed a vital half-century (56 off 51 balls) to his team’s World Cup debut. It is noteworthy that Oman asked captain Mitchell Marsh to bat first. Nine overs of the first innings later, Australia had already lost three wickets in short succession, proving the minnows’ decision to be worthy.
Remarkably, David Warner became the top run scorer for Australia in the Twenty20 International format by getting himself added to an exclusive list of hitters thanks to his crucial innings. Warner broke the record set by former captain Aaron Finch in the current T20 World Cup 2024 match, which is noteworthy.

Australia is about to win thanks to Marcus Stoinis’ performance.
After that, Marcus Stoinis put on a show. With his powerful hitting, the prolific all-rounder destroyed Oman’s bowling. Thus, Stoinis ended up smashing an undefeated fifty (67* off 36 balls) to lead Australia to a competitive score of 164/5 in their allotted 20 overs.
In response, Oman had to face the fury of Australia’s explosive pacer, Mitchell Starc, who scored an early wicket and trapped Prathik Athavale. The minnows were never able to get going after that since they were losing wickets at regular intervals. Additionally, Marcus Stoinis and Adam Zampa bowled superbly, taking two wickets apiece to utterly derail Oman. In order to begin their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on a positive note, Australia is poised to triumph convincingly.
