The 2021 Oman Tri-Nation Series was the 7th round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament that took place in Oman in September and October 2021.[1] It was a tri-nation series between Oman, Papua New Guinea and the Scotland cricket teams, with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[2] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[3] [4] Originally, the series was scheduled to take place in November and December 2022,[5] but was brought forward to September 2021 by Oman Cricket.[6] In August 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the full schedule of the series.[7]
Scotland won their first three matches,[8] with Oman winning two of their fixtures,[9] and Papua New Guinea remaining winless in the Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament.[10] The sixth and final match of the series, between Oman and Scotland, was abandoned mid-way through Scotland's innings due to heavy rain caused by Cyclone Shaheen.[11]
