Four down, one to go.

With a record of two wins and two losses in their warm-up games so far, Bermuda get a final chance today to work out what will be their strongest team ahead of Friday?s opening ICC Trophy match against Ireland.

Opponents Oman, who they meet at the Saintfield ground just outside of Belfast, are likely to provide a stern test as they?ve spent some weeks in Ireland putting together their own final preparations for an ICC campaign which will see them playing in the opposite qualifying group to that of Bermuda.

Island coach Gus Logie, who has declined to comment on Bermuda?s performances so far or discuss strategy outside the confines of the team hotel, would appear to be still undecided over his most potent line-up.

As such, players such as Dennis Archer, Wendell White and Ryan Steede, left out for two of the four games so far, can still press their claim for a starting spot should they be included in the XI today.

With two three-wicket hauls under his belt, Steede may already have done enough, especially since Bermuda have so few options regarding their opening attack.

Saleem Mukuddem and Steede have taken the new ball on two occasions and performed reasonably well, suggesting they will be Logie?s preferred choice with spinners Dwayne Leverock and Delyone Borden likely to come on as first change.

Included as an all-rounder, however, Borden has yet to find his form with the bat and with two successive ducks to reflect upon will be hoping to get more time out in the middle today.

Others such as openers Albert Steede and OJ Pitcher, skipper Clay Smith, Chris Foggo and Lionel Cann are also in desperate need of a solid innings to boost their own confidence after what have so far been a succession of indifferent performances.

And against Oman, coached by former Indian Test player Sandeep Patil, they can expect another rigorous examination.

While cricket has only been played in Oman since the late 1970s, it?s quickly become popularised by a number of Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi expatriates, many of whom now make up the national team.

The country qualified for the ICC Trophy by finishing second behind United Arab Emirates in the Asian Cricket Council tournament in Kuala Lumpur last year and bring with them a number of experienced players including 37-year-old skipper, Pakistan-born Azhar Syed and all-rounder Hemin Desai, who opens both the batting and bowling and was last year voted Player of the Series at the ACC tournament.

Today?s match is the last for both teams ahead of tomorrow?s official opening ceremony at Belfast City Hall and then Friday?s opening games.

Tournament rules, which were spelt out to team managers earlier this week, show that in the event of rain ? which is forecast for later this week ? two scenarios could unfold.If all matches in any one of the two groups are completely washed out, then those games will be replayed on one of the two rain dates set aside.

However, should play begin in just one of the group matches, and others are washed out, then in those where no play is possible each team will be awarded one point.

A minimum of 20 overs each side will have to played in order to determine a result.
