The 2022 Desert Cup T20I Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Oman in November 2022.[1] The participating teams were the hosts Oman along with Bahrain, Canada and Saudi Arabia.[2] The tournament was played as a double round-robin, with the top two sides advancing to the final.[3] The T20I tournament was followed by a three-match 50-over series between Oman and Canada, as the Canadians prepared for the final event of the 2019–2022 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League in Malaysia in December 2022.[1]
Canada finished top of the round-robin, with five wins from six games.[4] They were joined in the final by Oman after Bahrain lost to Saudi Arabia in the last match.[5] Canada comfortably defeated Oman in the final by 8 wickets, thanks to a century opening partnership in their run chase.[6] Saudi Arabia beat Bahrain in the third-place play-off.[7]
