Presentations coming up...

Earlier in the match, United Arab Emirates side scored a total of 227 runs and it was Aayan Khan who scored a half-century. Vriitya Aravind, Rameez Shahzad and Asif Khan chipped in with some cameos as well for their side. Jay Odedra picked up three wickets. Fayyaz Butt and Bilal Khan picked up a couple of wickets while Ayaan Khan had one in his kitty.

United Arab Emirates will be slightly upset with their effort as they had a good start with the ball. They failed to break some crucial partnerships and that is what cost them the game. Rohan Mustafa and Junaid Siddique picked a couple of wickets whilst Aayan Khan chipped in with one.

Oman had a shaky start and lost both of their openers inside the powerplay. The third wicket partnership was a crucial one between Aqib Ilyas and Shoaib Khan. Both scored a half-century. Shoaib Khan went off the field for a while due to cramps but came on again and made sure his side went over the line. Mohammad Nadeem scored a half-century as well and Ayaan Khan was dismissed on 41.

That was a clinical chase from Oman's side! They move on the top of the table with two wins in two games. They struggled a bit at the start but the batters ensured that the target was well chased and they did it in style.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are already out in the middle. Kashyap Prajapati and Jatinder Singh are the two openers for Oman. Junaid Siddique to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Vriitya Aravind is up for a chat. He says that the wicket is much slower than the last game. Adds that he and Rameez Shahzad talked about batting till the 25th over to take the game deep. Admits that they had a collapse in the middle but praises Aayan Khan for his brilliant knock in the end. Credits Zahoor Khan and Karthik Meiyappan for providing support as well. Reckons that they are 20-25 runs short but backs their bowlers to make a game out of this.

For Oman Jay Odedra was the pick. He turned the game by picking important wickets at important times. The spinners for them, yet again did a really good job but they will be disappointed with how things ended. They probably let United Arab Emirates off the hook a little. They though will fancy themselves to chase this down as they chased a score a lot more than this. United Arab Emirates on the other hand, will have to bowl really well if they are to defend it. Join us in a bit for the chase.

Oman will be very pleased with their performance but United Arab Emirates will be happy with their recovery. They have got to a competitive score on a wicket which is on the slower side. However, at one stage, they looked like getting a lot more. After losing Muhammad Waseem and Rohan Mustafa early, the likes of Vriitya Aravind and Rameez Shahzad steadied things. However, the going was slow and when the time came to accelerate, Rameez Shahzad fell. Once he fell, United Arab Emirates lost wickets in heaps. Had it not been for a brilliant innings from Aayan Khan, they probably would have been bundled out for below 200. His innings has got his side to a competitive score.

Runs Scored 12 Runs

49.51

Another good yorker, on middle, Zahoor Khan jams it out towards deep mid-wicket for one.

49.41

Full again and on off, Aayan Khan drills it towards sweeper covers for a single.

49.30

Fuller and on middle, Aayan Khan digs it out towards mid on and denies the run.

49.22

Bilal Khan bangs this short and on off, Aayan Khan looks to pull but gets a top edge which falls well over mid off. Two runs taken!

49.14

FOUR! FIFTY FOR KHAN! This has been an excellent knock from him and he has taken his team to a respectable total now. He will look to finish off well. Bilal Khan serves this in the blackhole, outside off, Aayan Khan squeezes it past short third man for a boundary.

Who will bowl the last over? It will be Bilal Khan (9-1-34-2)

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are already out in the middle. Kashyap Prajapati and Jatinder Singh are the two openers for Oman. Junaid Siddique to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Vriitya Aravind is up for a chat. He says that the wicket is much slower than the last game. Adds that he and Rameez Shahzad talked about batting till the 25th over to take the game deep. Admits that they had a collapse in the middle but praises Aayan Khan for his brilliant knock in the end. Credits Zahoor Khan and Karthik Meiyappan for providing support as well. Reckons that they are 20-25 runs short but backs their bowlers to make a game out of this.

For Oman Jay Odedra was the pick. He turned the game by picking important wickets at important times. The spinners for them, yet again did a really good job but they will be disappointed with how things ended. They probably let United Arab Emirates off the hook a little. They though will fancy themselves to chase this down as they chased a score a lot more than this. United Arab Emirates on the other hand, will have to bowl really well if they are to defend it. Join us in a bit for the chase.

Oman will be very pleased with their performance but United Arab Emirates will be happy with their recovery. They have got to a competitive score on a wicket which is on the slower side. However, at one stage, they looked like getting a lot more. After losing Muhammad Waseem and Rohan Mustafa early, the likes of Vriitya Aravind and Rameez Shahzad steadied things. However, the going was slow and when the time came to accelerate, Rameez Shahzad fell. Once he fell, United Arab Emirates lost wickets in heaps. Had it not been for a brilliant innings from Aayan Khan, they probably would have been bundled out for below 200. His innings has got his side to a competitive score.
