The 2019 Oman Cricket World Cup Challenge League B was the inaugural edition of Group B of the 2019–2022 Cricket World Cup Challenge League, a cricket tournament which formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[1][2] It took place in Oman,[3] with all the matches having List A status.[4][5][6]
Initially, it was scheduled to take place between 25 November and 10 December 2019 in Hong Kong.[7] However, citing the instability in Hong Kong, the first round of matches in League B were moved to Oman.[8][9] Uganda won the series, after they won all five of their matches.[10]

Bermuda's vice-captain Rodney Trott was unable to travel to Oman due to an administrative error, after it was discovered that his passport was due to expire within six months.[17] He was replaced in the squad by Coolidge Durham.[17] Initially, when Kenya announced their squad, they did not name their captain.[18] Cricket Kenya then made some changes to the management of the team, also naming Irfan Karim as the captain, replacing Shem Ngoche.[19]
