The Namibia men's cricket team toured Oman in April 2024 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] The series formed part of both teams' preparation for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, as well as Oman's preparation for the 2024 ACC Men's Premier Cup tournament.[2][3]

Namibia won the low-scoring first T20I by 4 wickets.[4] Oman won the next two matches to take a lead in the series,[5] before Namibia eventually won the series 3–2.[6][7]
