Bermuda have made one change to their squad for today's world cup qualifying 9th to 12th playoff with Oman at Absa oval.

Spinner Tamauri Tucker has replaced seamer Jacobi Robinson who has an injured right elbow.

Oman won the toss and elected to bat in a match of vital importance to both teams.

At stake is 350,000 Euros, eligibility for considerable ICC funding via the Gatorade high performance programme as well as potential intercontinental cup qualification.

The loser of today's match will be relegated to the ICC Pepsi world cricket league division 3 in 2010.

Bermuda bowed out of contention for world cup qualification earlier this week when they lost to the Netherlands in their final group b match.

Bermuda: L Romaine (capt), D Hemp, F Crockwell, G Blakeney, S Outerbridge, L Cann, J Tucker, R Trott, D Leverock, S Kelly, T Tucker. Reserve K Hodsoll.
