19.5: Brad Evans to Nadeem Khan, OUT! STUNNING CATCH! One of the catches of the tournament already from Brian Bennett, and that is some way to close out the innings from Zimbabwe. Back-of-the-hand slower ball, shorter and angled into the batter. Nadeem Khan hangs deep and clubs the pull high and wide of deep mid-wicket. Bennett runs to his right and puts in a full-fledged horizontal dive, grabbing the ball, and he even manages to hold on when his elbows thud into the turf, absolutely stunning. Evans ends with three wickets, and Oman are bowled out for 103 in 19.5 overs!

2
19.4: Brad Evans to Nadeem Khan, Uh, oh! Brendan Taylor is taken out by Nadeem Khan. Slower one angled into the stumps, Khan heaves it towards deep mid-wicket and the batters push for two. The throw at the keeper's end is a bit wide and Khan dives in to safety, cleaning up the keeper in the process. Nothing serious, though.

19.3: Brad Evans to Shah Faisal, Back of a length and over middle, swatted down to long on for a single.

4
19.2: Brad Evans to Shah Faisal, FOUR! No fielder out there, and the 100 is up for Oman. A quick short ball, right at the batter. Shah Faisal swings and gets a top edge that flies over the keeper and bounces away to the fence in the fine leg side.

0
19.1: Brad Evans to Shakeel Ahmed, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Brad Evans comes around the wicket and goes full, tailing the ball back in from outside off. Shakeel Ahmed stays deep in the crease and walks across, looking to heave it away. However, he only manages an inside edge and the ball goes off the pads and onto the stumps. Evans gets his second wicket and Oman are now 96/9!

End of over 19

18.6: Richard Ngarava to Nadeem Khan, The pace-on short ball now and Richard Ngarava finishes with a couple of dots. Banged in short and over middle, angles across the left-hander. Khan swings and misses, and Ngarava finishes with figures of 4-1-17-3, very similar to Blessing Muzarabani.

0
18.5: Richard Ngarava to Nadeem Khan, Deceptively bowled by Ngarava. Slower one into the pitch and outside off, no change in arm speed. Nadeem Khan swings across the line and misses.

1
18.4: Richard Ngarava to Shakeel Ahmed, Oh, that should have been two runs. Slower one, full and on middle, Shakeel Ahmed digs it out through mid-wicket. The fielder running in from the deep fumbles, but the batters settle for a single.

1
18.3: Richard Ngarava to Nadeem Khan, Full and straight, Khan advances and converts it into a full toss. Hits it straight to mid on and keeps on running to the other end. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses.

18.2: Richard Ngarava to Nadeem Khan, SIX! Sounded good off the bat and is long as well. Predictable length, short and over middle, Nadeem hangs back and smokes the pull over deep square leg for the first maximum of the innings.

0

1
17.5: Blessing Muzarabani to Shakeel Ahmed, Slower one, back of a length and around off, dabbed away to the right of short third for a single. Blessing Muzarabani is labouring back to his mark and seems a bit fatigued.

1WD
17.4: Blessing Muzarabani to Nadeem Khan, WIDE! Short and outside off, Nadeem gives the charge but fails to pull it away and a wide is called for height.

0
17.3: Blessing Muzarabani to Nadeem Khan, Swing and a miss! Short ball around off, comes in around shoulder height. Nadeem Khan looks to pull but is well beaten. The spongey bounce comes into play once again.

1
17.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Shakeel Ahmed, Short and outside off, Shakeel Ahmed is early to walk past the off stump and gets inside the line. However, he pulls it without any timing over square leg. Only a run.

1
