Ireland v Oman
Scorecard
After electing to field first, Oman deployed its spinners straight away against the Irish. And left-arm spinner Shakeel Ahmed justified skipper Jatinder Singh’s faith in him by ripping through the Ireland top order.
He began by bowling Tim Tector with a skidder in the first over of the innings, had Ross Adair miscue and then beat Harry Tector’s defences to find the top of the off stump. Ireland scored 47 in powerplay overs but lost their top three. Aamir Kaleem cut short Curtis Campher’s innings to leave Ireland reeling at 64/4.
Captain Lorcan Tucker has led the Irish recovery with a brisk half-century. His partnership with Gareth Delaney has taken the team to 124/4 in 14 overs.
Ireland: Tim Tector, Harry Tector, Ross Adair, Lorcan Tucker (C/WK), Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Matthew Humphreys, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little.
Oman: Jatinder Singh (C), Aamir Kaleem, Hammad Mirza, Ashish Odedara, Mohammad Nadeem, Vinayak Shukla (WK), Jiten Ramanandi, Nadeem Khan, Sufyan Mehmood, Shah Faisal, Shakeel Ahmed.
