Oman's spinning are hauling back the run rate. And taking wickets as a result of the pressure. 92/3 in the 13th

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

150 would be below par on this wicket I think.

Niall OB: "A little bit of no mans land for the Oman players"

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The big wicket Nitish Kumar gone. In trouble now

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So a six to finish the 18th over. 133 on the board. The big hits have come out. Expect 150

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This ground is too big to clear for these guys.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The spinner, Zeeshan Maqsood with some 'cheap' wickets: caught in the deep.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

3 run outs in 6 balls. That must be a record.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jeremy Gordon strikes. Early wicket for the Canadians

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oman running rampant in the powerplay

Having fast bowlers on these pitches is useless. UAE and Oman won matches with trundlers and spinners

 

[Briggs]

The one thing I dislike about Associate fanboys is how they defend these expats teams. Like what are they offering to cricket? Most of the players are like club footballers who will go wherever they are paid more

Canada's spinners are taking licks though.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Have to say this Niall O'Brien as a commentator is on par with the best.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Emphatic win for Oman. What knock from Jatinder and Aaqib. Quality partnership.

Yet Kenya insist on not so raw pace at the death because adaptation is anathema

Oman are now safe. Good stuff. Their cricket has come a long way in a few years. They've got lots of backing and investment, and some top notch facilities. Hope they build it into something sustainable.

Shown up in the end. We were punching above our weight just by being in this tournament though so it’s hard to criticise much. David was disappointing though.

 

[cnerd123]

Kenya causing chaos with PNG, but a good recovery ATM from 19/6

HK in for a very low runchase Vs Nigeria. Hope Nizakat smacks them everywhere and we finish this in like 7 overs or something.

 

[Daemon]

Seriously clutch from Vanua.
