Brad Wheal bowls his first poor delivery of the day and is swatted away through backward square leg for four.

Oman have picked up the pace a bit after that watchful start.

Khushi seemed to get in a pretty good position to play the shot but it's hit high up on the bat which meant it didn't have the force to get over the ring.

The luck ran out for Khushi. Scotland will be very happy with this start.

Oman 11-0published at 2.3 overs

Khushi gets hold of the next ball though, lofting a handsome drive over extra cover for six.

Chris Sole is into the attack for Scotland, and Naseem Khushi gets absolutely nowhere near the first two deliveries of the over.

Wheels.

Neither Oman opener can find any sort of timing here.

Just two singles from Wheal's first over.

Brad Wheal shares new-ball duties for Scotland, and starts with a couple of good deliveries.

The second is mistimed back down the ground, and there was almost a runout, but Chris Sole couldn't throw down the stumps.

Three singles end Watt's over.

Oman have struggled with the bat so far in this tournament, and they rather eased their way in there.

Three dots to start from Watt.

Tidy stuff from the Heriot's tweaker.

Scotland have opted for Mark Watt up top to start things. I don't think it's a bad ploy.

They must have an idea of how Oman play spin, they've played a lot of cricket against them so they'll know their players well.

It's going to be the spin of Mark Watt to open up for Scotland.

Naseem Khushi and Pratik Athavale are the Oman openers.

Let's play...

England fans will also be keeping a keen eye on this game.

Should Scotland win today, England can only qualify for the Super 8s on net run rate.

Squeaky bum time for Jos Buttler and co.

Flower of Scotland rings around the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

We're nearly ready to go in Antigua...

Oman captain Aqib Ilyas makes his decision after winning the toss: "We'll bat first. It's a good wicket to bat on and set a good target and put the other side under pressure.

"It's important. It's a new game. History is in the past. We go in with fresh minds but it would be a boost for us [to beat Scotland for the first time].

"Our [spin] bowlers are doing the best in the tournament so if we set a decent target, they can do well for us.

"Two changes for us, Kashyap Pajapati and Shoaib Khan are out and Nassem Khushi and Rafiullah are in."

Oman have lost both their games in this World Cup so far, going down in a super over against Namibia before a bright start against Australia ended in a 39-run defeat.

Scotland won't be underestimating today's opponents though, that's for sure.

Scotland captain Richie Berrington reflects on Oman's decision to bat first:

"It doesn't make too much difference, we're happy taking the ball first. It's our first game at this ground, on this pitch. The short side of the ground has the wind; it could be tricky defending that later on.

"With the ball first, it's important we find out about the wicket quickly, and make sure we hit the right lengths.

"Every game we play is important, although we play a lot of games with a lot of the line. It's a real good opportunity and one we're looking forward to."

Some day for this man.

Safyaan Sharif makes his 200th appearance for his country today, the first bowler to reach that landmark for Scotland.

He comes in for Brad Currie, who has a minor side issue - the Sussex seamer could yet feature next week against Australia.
