The 2021–22 Oman Quadrangular Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Oman in February 2022.[1] [2] The participating teams were the hosts Oman along with Ireland, Nepal and the United Arab Emirates.[3] The series provided all four teams with preparation for the T20 World Cup Global Qualifier Group A, which began on 18 February 2022.[4]

The opening match of the series, which was scheduled to be between Ireland and the UAE, was rescheduled after Ireland's luggage did not arrive on time.[5] A man-of-the-match performance from Dipendra Singh Airee sealed victory for Nepal over Oman in a thrilling run chase in the surviving day one fixture.[6] The UAE and Ireland each picked up comfortable wins on the second day of the competition, against Nepal and Oman, respectively.[7] [8] The UAE defeated Ireland in the rearranged fixture on day three, their third T20I win in a row against the Irish,[9] to go into the final day at the top of the table.[10] [11] Oman ended the UAE's winning streak on the final day thanks to a five-wicket haul from Aamir Kaleem and a rapid 84 for Muhammad Waseem,[12] to ensure that the champions would be decided in the final game of the tournament.[13] The final match, between Ireland and Nepal, could have seen either side win the tournament,[14] but Ireland's 16-run victory in a low-scoring affair was not enough to replace the UAE at the top of the standings.[15]

Squads

Ireland also named Neil Rock and Ben White as travelling reserves.[19] Sandeep Lamichhane captained Nepal for the first time in T20Is.[20]
