Table topper Oman will be squaring off against bottom-placed Papua New Guinea in the fifteenth fixture of ICC World Cricket League Division Two 2019 at United Cricket Club Ground, Windhoek on Friday noon.

Papua New Guinea, placed at the bottom, has managed one win in four encounters. Their only win came against Hong Kong in the second fixture and would be looking to finish off on a high with a win in the final fixture.
