Namibia hold a 12-6 lead in the Namibia vs Oman head to head, plus one tie, from 19 games logged between Apr 2019 and Apr 2026. The ODI share is 8-4 and the T20I share 4-2.
Lately the margins have been razor thin. The three most recent ODIs were decided by 1, 3 and 2 wickets, and the last T20I, at Kensington Oval in Jun 2024, finished level before Namibia won the super over.
Namibia vs Oman Cricket: The Record in Two Formats
Namibia made a fast start. The first one-dayer on record, at the Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek on 27 Apr 2019, brought a 145-run win as Oman folded for 81. A 110-run success at the ICC Academy in Dubai in Mar 2022 followed, and those remain the two widest ODI margins.
From then on the series have tended to be shared. Oman beat Namibia in Sharjah in Mar 2022 by 7 wickets, then the teams traded wins in Dundee (Jul 2024), Al Amarat (Feb 2025) and Windhoek (Apr 2026). A single wicket separated them in the most recent ODI, on 10 Apr 2026, with Namibia edging home.
In T20Is Namibia lead 4-2, with the tie on top. A five-game series at Al Amarat in Apr 2024 went 3-2 their way. In Jun 2024 the sides met at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, during the Men’s T20 World Cup: Oman were bowled out for 109, Namibia could only match it, and the super over went to Namibia.
