| 0.2 : 0.2: Brad Wheal to Jatinder Singh, OUT! Big mix-up and Jatinder Singh, the star batsman, is run out. Brad Wheal serves it full and on middle, Singh bunts it down towards mid on and comes running forward for a single. Aqib though initially responds but then is ball-watching. Jatinder, meanwhile, keeps on running and has almost reached the other end. Mark Watt collects the ball and throws it to the keeper who takes the bails off. A big setback for the home team. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Brad Wheal to Aqib Ilyas, SIX! High and handsome! Brad Wheal is a bit too straight in his line, on a length and angling down, Aqib Ilyas brings his strong wrists into play and dumps it over the long leg fence for a maximum. |
| 2.5: Safyaan Sharif to Kashyap Prajapati, OUT! The second one is down for Oman as Kashyap Prajapati is caught at mid off. Two dot balls and the pressure was building on Prajapati. He tries to cut loose by attacking a length ball outside off. Kashyap Prajapati attempts to power it over the leg side but only manages a big top edge towards mid off. George Munsey collects the catch safely inside the ring. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Josh Davey to Aqib Ilyas, FOUR! Off the inner half. Josh Davey delivers it on a length around middle and leg, Aqib Ilyas gets across to whip it through mid-wicket but the ball takes the inside edge and speeds down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Josh Davey to Aqib Ilyas, SIX! Aqib Ilyas loves his shots off the pads. Josh Davey serves one on the leg stump line, Aqib Ilyas picks it up and dumps it behind square leg for a maximum. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Safyaan Sharif to Aqib Ilyas, FOUR! Shot! Fuller in length around off, at 133 kph, Aqib Ilyas attacks it in his zone and smacks it over mid off for a boundary. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Mark Watt to Aqib Ilyas, FOUR! Fires it full and around leg, Aqib picks it up and whips it over backward square leg. The ball drops safely in the deep, Greaves comes rushing across to his right from deep mid-wicket but overruns and then slips. The ball sneaks past and finds the fence. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Michael Leask to Aqib Ilyas, OUT! Aqib Ilyas departs! Big wicket for Scotland. Fuller delivery, on off, Aqib Ilyas looks to get under it and launch it down the ground. But fails to get enough timing on that one. In the end, the ball goes straight into the hands of Munsey at long off. He takes a fine catch. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Brad Wheal to Mohammad Nadeem, SIX! Smoked! A length ball, on middle. Mohammad Nadeem stands tall and swings freely across the line as the ball sails over the mid-wicket fence. A much-needed maximum for the home side. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Brad Wheal to Zeeshan Maqsood, FOUR! All the pressure which the spinners had created, has now been released. Fuller delivery, on off and Zeeshan Maqsood picks the length early and thumps it over mid off for a boundary. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Michael Leask to Zeeshan Maqsood, FOUR! Just over! On a shortish length, around off. Zeeshan Maqsood looks to carve it over point but ends up getting a thick outside edge which flies just over Brad Wheal at short third man. Good effort from the fielder but the ball ends up in the fence. That probably brushed his fingertips as he jumped. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Mark Watt to Mohammad Nadeem, SIX! BANG! Fuller, on off, Mohammad Nadeem gets a big stride in and launches it over long on for a biggie. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Mark Watt to Mohammad Nadeem, OUT! Nadeem is gone now! Mark Watt gets his revenge! He fires it in the flatter trajectory, fuller and around off at 98 kph, Mohammad Nadeem decides to explore the area at extra cover with his inside-out shot but fails to get underneath the delivery. He ends up chipping a straightforward catch to Richie Berrington at short cover who does well to grab it. The replays show that the ball almost popped out of his hands and brushed his face but Richie kept it in |
| 14.3: Safyaan Sharif to Zeeshan Maqsood, FOUR! The skipper is making the most of it now. Back of a length, outside off and Maqsood carves it through the backward point region for a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Safyaan Sharif to Sandeep Goud, OUT! CAUGHT! Safyaan Sharif does get another wicket in the end, even though it's not the one Scotland would have wanted. A length ball, on the pads and Sandeep Goud picks it up nicely. Goud whips it in the air but finds the fielder at the square leg fence perfectly. Chris Greaves doesn't make a mistake and Goud has to walk back to the pavilion. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Michael Leask to Naseem Khushi, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust. Michael Leask angles it across from around the stumps and this is well outside off. Naseem Khushi looks to heave this one towards the mid-wicket fence but ends up skying it just over the mid-wicket region. Calum MacLeod runs in from the deep and takes a good dipping catch in front of him. Leask gets his second and Oman lose their sixth. |
| 17.4: Josh Davey to Suraj Kumar, OUT! CAUGHT! The short ball has done the trick for Josh Davey. Davey bowls a really well-directed bumper, right around the helmet of the batter. Suraj Kumar looks to hook but is through with his shot a bit early and ends up getting a top edge. The ball flies towards the deep square leg fence and Brad Wheal slides across to his left to take a nice catch. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Safyaan Sharif to Zeeshan Maqsood, SIX! That'll get the crowd going! A length ball, around leg, Zeeshan Maqsood picks it up nicely, swivels and dispatches it almost onto the roof behind the square leg fence. That's a 92-metre monster! |
| 19.3: Josh Davey to Zeeshan Maqsood, OUT! CAUGHT! For a moment, it looked to be going all the way but Calum MacLeod remained cool as a cucumber. In the slot and Zeeshan Maqsood flat-bats it towards the wide long off fence. Maqsood does strike it well but the ball goes very flat. Calum MacLeod moves swiftly to his right in the deep and takes a sharp catch. The skipper departs after a fighting knock. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Josh Davey to Bilal Khan, OUT! RUN OUT! The batters try to push for the second which was never on and it results in another wicket. Full and straight, a near yorker, Khan brings his bottom hand into play and forces it down the ground. Calum MacLeod is quick to latch onto that one, running across to his left from long off and sends across a flat throw to the bowler. Bilal Khan is stranded halfway down the pitch while attempting the second run. Josh Davey whips off the bails off at the n |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Josh Davey to Fayyaz Butt, FOUR! Shortish ball, outside off and Fayyaz Butt has muscled this one. Butt hangs back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep attacks the ball, attempts to catch it with a dive but misses and it sneaks past him to find the fence. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Josh Davey to Fayyaz Butt, OUT! CAUGHT! Oman have been bowled out for 122! Full and wide, Fayyaz Butt leans into the cover drive and absolutely nails it. Butt though hits it straight to the man at cover-point. Chris Greaves takes a sharp catch and Josh Davey has his third wicket. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Bilal Khan to George Munsey, FOUR! Easy pickings. That's not the length Bilal Khan is known for. Short and wide outside off, George Munsey camps back and whacks it through point for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Bilal Khan to Kyle Coetzer, FOUR! Up and over the fielder inside the ring. Bilal Khan speeds in and serves it on a shortish length around off, Kyle Coetzer takes the aerial route and just manages to send it over the leaping mid off fielder. A boundary to end the over, 9 from it! |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Aqib Ilyas to George Munsey, FOUR! Slapped away! That's a poor length to begin a spell. Short and wide outside off, George Munsey rocks back and shows no mercy as he smacks it through cover-point. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Aqib Ilyas to George Munsey, FOUR! Well played! Quicker one again, full and around off, George Munsey brings out the reverse-batted shot from his repertoire and nails it behind backward point for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Fayyaz Butt to George Munsey, FOUR! It's a great shot! Back of a length, around off and angling in, George Munsey is on his toes as he cracks it through the gap at cover-point for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Fayyaz Butt to George Munsey, OUT! CAUGHT! Fayyaz Butt digs it in short, around off, George Munsey turns inside the crease and pulls it aerially over square leg.

Can Oman build on this wicket? 90 runs needed in 92 balls. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Zeeshan Maqsood to Kyle Coetzer, SIX! Dispatched! Flighted one, full and around off, Kyle Coetzer steps back to make room and launches it handsomely over wide long off. Onto the roof. At the end of the Powerplay, Scotland are 45/1, needing 78 more off 84 balls. |

| 8.5 : 8.5: Mohammad Nadeem to Kyle Coetzer, SIX! That has come out from the middle! A length ball, on middle. Kyle Coetzer stands tall and picks it up nicely as he pulls it all the way over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Khawar Ali to Kyle Coetzer, OUT! TIMBER! Much-needed one and Khawar Ali has done the magic here! Scotland lose the wicket at the stroke of Drinks. This was full and skidding through, around leg. Kyle Coetzer prods to flick but gets an inside edge onto the pads and the ball ricochets away onto the stumps. Skipper goes for 41 but has put his team in a strong position. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Khawar Ali to Richie Berrington, SIX! HAMMERED! This was full and on middle, Richie Berrington clears his front leg and smokes it straight down the ground for a biggie. His 50th six in this format and will release the pressure that had started to build. |
